Get a bad memory back on track here. I know there are both Tricos and Paraleps around at the same time and one mates in an east/west flying pattern while the other mates in an up and down dance. I believe tricos are east/west and paraleps are dancers, do I have that correct?

You are correct.
It's kinda funny in a sick sort of way when the mating swarms overlap. This happens frequently downstream of the gauging station (not the 10th St one) on the LL. There's mid-air collisions between the two groups, and if you're alert to this, you can take advantage of it - the fish do.

Later in the trico season, once the Jenny's are gone, there is another overlap hatch with a small (24) light brown/tan baetid.

Jenny? What's that?

Jenny = central/western PA term for P. Mollis. Probably some other P's as well.
I've only ever heard it when referring to the spinners, never the duns, but I don't know if it's unique to the spinner stage or not.
