![Click to see original Image in a new window](javascript:CaricaFoto("http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb401/LackawannaRiver/SDC12273.jpg");) Happened in the evenings over memorial day with the bigger brighter sulphurs on the Lack. What is this? About a size 18 maybe smaller. I call it small yellow mayfly.

I've heard that those flies are very common on the Delaware River.

Thank You Sandy.
I knew you would probably know. I guess what I call it isnt far from the common name. I was sure it wasn't the sulphur that hatch about 30 mins before dark into the evening. This little guy came out in decent numbers on the Lackawanna about 2 hours before sunset. I dont know if it dwindled when the sulphurs came out. The fish and I didnt take notice anymore  * The pic is the fly on my eye glasses. There were so many they were hitting me all over my body.
