LJ,

Someone on the FFP site reported seeing grannoms hatch on the Letort. I didn't even know they hatched there. I would expect to see them in the next week or so in Central PA.

I've been seeing a few caddis flying around. I didn't manage to catch any of them but I don't think they were Grannoms. They looked a little smaller than Grannoms. But there are bugs hatching, which is good.

What seperates a regular caddis from a Grannom, just size? How big does a caddis have to be to be considered a grannom?

I have seen some caddis hatching locally, some fairly large size but don't think they would be considered grannoms

Here is a good run down:

While the name may be occasionally misapplied to a number of different species, I think it is properly applied to the "Brachycentrus" family, which may include several different species.
