Hatches on Idaho's
spring creeks are quite different from hatches found on other rivers and
streams around the area. Because of the relatively slow water
velocity, constant water temperature and abundant vegetation, spring
creek hatches can be unique.
The chart below is a good
reference for matching the hatch at Batise Springs:
