George, that is intersting. I never considered that the HSB were eating the fish feed pellets. When the feeders go off, the fish that eat the food are so fast that I can never get a good look at them which I suppose is also a function of water clarity.
What is pellet flies?
Thank You
Mako, pellet flies are simple pellet shaped closed cell foam, encased in panty hose and atteched to a hook of your choice.
Here is a link that I believe will help.

Cecil gets all the PH credit!
Many folks on the forum adjust their feeding amounts on how nuch activity they see on the surface, but I have found that most HSB are feeding on sinking pellets, especially in the colder water months.
Good luck!!!
