Sure enough, he catches insects in the bug screen.
They both observe and make the closest match in first size and then
color. Then they plan on the depth, and speed of the drift. It
seem to work as they were hooking up on some good size browns.

I have a nifty thing that I keep in my vest that helps me figure out
the hatch:

Not very expensive for such a high quality bit of optics.

I also have a bent up aquarium net that I use for the drift, but the
monocular helps me figure out how the fish are taking. Together,
they can

be deadly, and I often find myself scoping out birds and animals w/
the monocular.

Agree absolutely with that, but I prefer folding binoculars that will
focus down to ten feet or less, and slightly higher powered. I use
10*25 Bresser´s ( Like these; but an older model

I did use a good monocular for some time, but I often had difficulty
finding hatching flies etc and keeping them in view.

Space in my vest really comes at a premium these days. Plus, the
monocular just makes me look that much sillier from streamside, so its a
plus all the way around.

This is a nice monocular. The FOV is only about 10% less than those
Bresser's
