I snuck out this afternoon and got to the Big Thompson in time for the afternoon baetis hatch.
I stalked this guy for about an hour and a half. Actually, I harrassed him with a rainbow warrior, blue-winged olive, and finally a brooks sprout emerger (I think that's what it's called). It's the one that looks like a regular CDC baetis emerger, but the top is made of foam. I couldn't get a good presentation, so I relied on the odds of just slapping it in his face thousands of times until he gave up and struck it. It was a good time.
