Dun
Occurring in the morning, the cornuta hatch provides good action for a little over an hour. Fish the runs and pockets with closely matched patterns and cast accurately. Avoid confusion with the "attenuata" which are smaller.
Spinner
Spinners fall at dusk. May be good fishing upon occasion but are likely to be overshadowed by the "Super Hatches" of this time of year.
