What creek did this mayfly come from? It looks like a yellow or even green drake to my untrained eye.

I say it, too, is a march brown.

I would have sworn a light March Brown (but, if it’s not a Caddis, I pretty much have a 10% chance of a correct identification). My phone and the gentleman at the Tackle Shack both said Green Drake, which I for some reason assumed would have been green 😂. I fished the closest color/size dry fly I had and caught, or missed, pretty much each rising trout I could get in range of. Pine Creek is very fishable in Gaines right now, but it’s pushing some volume. It’s supposed to rain the next three days, though.

BTW, besides green drakes, sulfurs were also coming off.

Green Drake. Saw one on the roof of my son's car last Sunday as we were packing up to leave Indiantown Run. I kept seeing big light-colored body flies the couple hours we were fishing there and my son said there were no green drakes on that water, until we saw the one on his car.
