The first one rose from the water and looked the size of a hummingbird as it blew right by me and up into the sky. Then I saw another, and another. Not many, but enough to get a few fish rising. I knew I couldn't cast a line until I got my bug, though.

Which I eventually did. But by the time I finished my bug quest, the rises had stopped. And though there had been a few duns hatching, there had been no spinner fall. I had one more night to try again.
