Most unforgiving hatch I ever fished was the tricorithodes hatch on the Battenkill River in southwestern VT. Simply impossible when the surface is absolutely covered with a thin layer of #24 naturals and I was casting a #24 imitation. What the heck was I thinking believing a trout would select my fly from a sea of millions of naturals. Heck, I couldn't even SEE my fly... big trout, little trout and medium sized trout were rolling and porpoising all over the river. Pulled my hair out and went back to the truck...
