3/20 - numerous people on land and water, lots of march browns in the air; not much luck with them - which I tried exclusively (various patterns).
3/21 - went upstream, not many march browns, or rises, but some; hooked 3 fish on #18 cream colored mayfly parachute of various ties and with some yellow in them; 6X fluorocarbon helped, 5X did not. Not as bright sky, fewer people but still some.
Would have caught more fish except for messing around with various other dry fly patterns or colors that didn't work, and I tore a hole in my waders on some barbed wire.
