Once a year, an epic stone-fly hatch engulfs the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. This used to be a fantastic secret kept by a few locals but the threats to this pristine river (upstream dams to satisfy farming and development's water demands) were too serious for inaction. Ben Knight and Travis Rummel made this remarkable film of the feeding frenzy to raise awareness of the threats to the river.
