Nice pics Sandy. I would like to use some them for our bug file.

There's a small nymph in the last picture of your hendrickson post. Right by the stonefly.


Thanks for this Sandfly. I think most people have some basic knowledge of adults, but nymphs can be very tricky for most. I know I can tell just a few apart, but my knowledge is lacking in this area.

afish, If i post em use em..

ryguy, small immature yellow sally probably 2 instars to go, maybe next years crop hard to tell with them since full grown they are a 14-16..that one would be a size 24 right now, did find some in the 20-18 size too.

ohh to live near streams with real bugs... .(daydreams... .)

Are you growing these bugs in the shop?

Blueheron,
I grew these for you from the class day;
first 2 are a caddis in the case (size10) and the larva (size 22) he has a lot of growing to do..2nd. pic has a Yellow Sally stone fly.
third pic is of the under side of a Isonychia nymph
forth is a immature hellgramite
Last is a Black stone size 12, they were heavy on pine, no risers all were egg laying at 3:00 pm..

Awesome , for me it's all about the bugs. I don't like to fish attractor patterns nearly as much as a look alike bug specific to the water I'm on. The size12 stones were heavy on the Lehigh but no risers, they must not taste as good as the giant stone nymph they were devouring. No black woolly in my box

Great information! Thanks. I will cut and paste it into my journal for future reference.
