I' ve always been a believer in the earlier the better. But the past few times I've gone out I've had better success in midmorning hours, between 9 and 11, than during the earlier hours, and then again between 1 and 3.
I'm wondering what others think of this?

When the hatch is on. That varies by the season and the daily weather. Now, its mid-day, and sometimes late afternoon. That's the general winter pattern--let the sun shine a while, take your time. Come spring, mid-afternoon is when you'll see the most BWO's.

Depends on what you are using. Top water (dry flies) need to warm up in order to hatch. Drifting the Green A section you'll always want to wait. Since that first couple miles after the damn are the best, you wait for the hatch. Then you can hit it. Even in the summer they don't like to get out before 8am on the Green. If you are nymphing it really doesn't matter. They eat those all day. Just match the hatch and you're golden.
