For me you don't need the proof as it is the dreams and stories that count where it matters most. At our ponds the best chance to catch a really big BG is on the bed near the full moon in May. It is the most pronounced BG spawning event. A suggestion for what it is worth (2 cents). Take the fly rod to the same exact place ASAP (or around the June full moon) and try the same fly. If it does not work leave for about an hour and come back and try a sinking fly or a Lady G $-Gill and let it sink then hop it around. Who knows it may work. Think positive as luck favors the prepared mind. \:\)
