If I recall the "prime time" for the hawthorn is towards the end of the month. What you need is a windy day to blow them on the river. One of my most memorable days with these critters was when I fished in effectively a gale but the brownies were hitting the hawthorns with a vengeance. Problem was getting a fly on the surface!! Great fun when it happens. most of the white blossom you see at the moment is blackthorn.
