Great reference site

I happened to come across this in my travels recently and found it to be a great resource. It lists mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies and "others" (midges, terrestrials, etc.). Gives a nice "menu" for the different stages of the insects, fly size, presentation, etc. Hope others find use in it!

Just checked it out, they seem to have all the big hatches covered, def a informative site. Thanks for sharing

Keep in mind that it's for western states.

The Green Drake shown there is totally different from our Green Drake.

That's one thing I forgot to mention - that it is for western states. As noted, there may be some variations, but to a large extent it seemed to cover the bases.

Troutnut is a great site to use for bugs.

This one is also helpful. Very unsophisticated web site presentation, but the species discussed are thoroughly described for identification purposes as well as behavior and habitat:
