Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

What is it?

Depending on where you are it could be any a-typical mayfly. But that is a good assumption.

I have golden stone flies in the Doublekill behind my house in Orange county. I'm going to try to get pics of them this season. I've only ever seen them in the catskills before moving here
 
I would guess Cahill spinner. As far as Cmm goes ,everytime he open his mouth he sounds more and more stupid. Golden stones are everywhere dude. If you have only ever seen them in the skills you must only be fishing in the skills.
 
The future of America, folks!!!!! HAHAHHAAHAH

CCM, you're a fucking moron. Did you graduate high school? Or were the bennies to good to pass up in becoming a fork lift driver?

I posted a question a while back and they came up with an answer.

Then another....

and another....


I finally settled on "a tan bug with unusually long tails".


Let me save you the trouble...
Go with "a tan bug with kinda long tails."
You're welcome.

If you do try to have them take a whack at it,
you better have become very intimate with that gal...
They'll ask you things you'll only know if you had her under a microscope.

You may be right on the money. I fished with Ed Shenk once and someone came up to us with a "whats on the water" question and started spouting Latin etc.and asked Ed what he was using. He siad "I dont know, some little grey bastard in a size 14".

Ed's been copying my system for YEARS...
I should get a cut from his articles, books and videos...
 
How big was it

That thing is huge! The only way he could have gotten that thing in the frame was to stand at least 100 years away from it. If it doesn't crush you if you get too close to it, it will kill you with a very poisonous bite to the throat after going in circles for a few seconds to confuse you........that's why it is called a spinner.

Callibaetis, nope. Even Mothra is ascared of this thing.......
 
It was probably a size 16 if it was on a hook........The cold floods of New Jersey chased it away from the river and on to my front porch.....

If I were to imitate with Mercer's missing link, would I put a tail on it...and if I did, with the size of it I would probably have to use para-cord?


I thought CMM left NEFF for Instagram or tweeter or something like that.....I was disappointed to see him....:)
