I noticed that too and that several had their mouths open as they
swam. I've been told that's classic daphnia feeding behavior.

That's a great example. I've found that throwing something different
or even outrageous at fish that see a lot of flies can work magic.
This spring on Lenice and Nunnally, I've had my best luck on a
pattern I learned in Chile. It's big, mostly white, with rubber legs
and an orange cone on the front. I tried it on a whim and it worked!
I also have a question about fish behavior. I noticed that the fish
in Lenice (and Nunnally) are swimming around rather fast compared to
their "summer speed." Is this a result of their feeding behavior
(mainly chrono pupae), reaction to opening madness, or water temp?

A different alternative,
2 years ago, at Cady Lake, my son and I were having exactly the
same results, even noticing that no one else was catching anything;
most everyone trying to match the hatch with dry patterns, when my
son put on a muddler minnow. Voila!! Catching really got good for
a couple hours. My sons largest was 26".

Nada. I tried many different things. Nada. Chironomids, blood worms, very
shallow, very deep, in between, water boatmen, full-sinking chironomids with
a vertical retrieve: Nada.
