Default Where's the Hatch?

In the early opener, there was a great caddis hatch on Flat Brook. After that, there's been nothing hatching. Any ideas what's going on? Has it been too cold?

I have been seeing Sulfur (both large and small: #14 and #18) hatching around the sunset time. It's a major hatch.
Also, I have seen some March Brown and now I am starting to see Isonychia. I have seen size 20-22 caddis hatching.
When in doubt, always use size 22 zebra midge since midge hatches all the time.

Just happen to be in between hatches, Flat Brook is primarily a caddis stream along with blue winged olives, and has sparse mayfly hatches.
Stoneflies and streamers, wooly buggies, San Juan worms work well at times.
Look at the spider webs along the stream side brush will give you a good idea what hatched the night before.
Tight Lines, White Water Flies, Ramsey Outdoors, monitor these streams and can give the latest on conditions and what's hatching.
Tom Gimore's latest book cover covers the Flat Brook in detail.
Good Luck!

Yes. But much smaller in size.

Large sulfur is still hatching in the evening as well as Little sulfur. In addition, Isonychia is hatching in the evening now. In the morning and during the day, Cinnamon caddis is hatching as well as Green sedge.
