Here a a few pics of a beetle I found crawling around the rocks at Pelican last spring. The lake is filled with small bleached out snail shells and most of the beaches have these shells along the shore. I have witnessed the predacious diving beetle at Pyramid on many occasions and their coloring is more of a brownish tan. With all of that said, I don't believe the fish are "keying" in on a hatch as much as seeing something moving in their domain and attacking it. Apex predatory response kind of thing.
