I kept trying to figure out what the trout thought the hackle resembled, the tiny brown midges didn't look anything like the silver hackle. Excellent pattern for those slow days.

In fact the canoe group wasn't fishing, just cruising up and down the areas where everyone was trying to fish. All had the opportunity to float 11 miles of tailrace below where everyone else was fishing, but chose to stay in the areas where they could be seen.
