Wasn't part of the AFFLT group but know a few of them and they are pretty good fisher people.
I think they probably did much better than you may have heard.
Saturday afternoon. Boatman and backswimmers were there. A few fish rising. One damn fish to the net. Missed a few followers casting to rises.
Tried almost every boatman and backswimmer pattern I had. Floating, sinking, beadhead , chenille, peacock herl, brown tan , black tan, floating line, sink tip line, etc, etc.
Mildly frustrating.
Spring Lake has humbled but not broken me.

Have to admit I was misinformed: although some of the participants indeed had no luck, at least one had 4 fish and another had an even better count. Never the less, since all the rain it has been a less than stellar year on Spring.
