Stupefying (even on second or third viewing). Presumably a hexagenia
of some sort.

I remember seeing this some time ago. Becky and I snap up whatever we
can find with Attenborough's name on it. He is a force of nature.

About a year ago we watched a biopic of some sort about Attenborough,
hosted by one of the Monty Python crew.....Palin, I think. Michael
asked David whether he ever gave any thought to retirement, or
something like that. Attenborough said something on the oder of; what
would I do.....travel to exotic places?

you (generically speaking) get this one.....or you never will.

That was an amazing video. I was stunned by the scenes where the trout
leaped from the water and caught them.

I wondered what the fly was too and don't really know. Here in the UK we
call Ephemera Danica (and E Vulgata & E Lineata) May flies while others
(such as the BWO) are known as upwing flies. Because E Danica is what I
see most of, my money is on that.

Here are a couple of links that tell you where I am coming from:

Here is one that interrupted my fishing on the Avon at West Amesbury
(Wiltshire, UK) in 2004:

David A pronounces the river as "corrish" I would not know how to start
spelling that in Hungarian so can not google it. I did find however find
this:
http://www.famu.org/mayfly/pubs/pub_...st1999p157.pdf (list of
fly names). It turns up another ephemera - E Glaucops - which we don't
see in the UK. It also shows four heptagenia (H coerulans, H Flava, H
Longicaud, H Sulphurea). No hexagenia that I noticed. Searching on these
names turned up these links:

Loved the video. I second Tim on the leaping
fish!

Was that a trout? I tried freeze framing
it, but could not get a good shot. Sort of looked
like one, only very silvery, no spots.

I suppose I would have found that amazing except I watch bass
performing the same feat as they attempt to feed on damsels and
dragonflies (and an occasional redwing blackbird).

Thanks a bunch for the video, Frank. I DID enjoy it.
