I call those late season itty bitties "pseudo klingons"
In late September there are hatches of BWO like things, but
they are so small the bigger fish often seem to ignore them.

Later on, say mid-October, when the real BWO hatch starts,
the fishing can be spectacular. But what seems to matter most
is the fisherman, and not so much the fly. My buddy John (aka Duke)
out-fishes me and everyone else 5-1. Somedays he uses little dry
flies. Some days itty beadheads. Some days softhackles.
John keeps his secrets pretty close to his fly box. But I think he
just changes flies until something works. But he has more than
that......some deep seated lazer beam juju emanating from the
lower brain stem seems to be involved.
