Fly Identification Help

[Thursthouse]

Was fishing the Ramapo on Friday and saw a number of these coming off. I'm assuming they are March Browns but I'm not positive. Help please!

That seems to be a spinner, though, not a dun.
How late were you there, when you snagged him?

 

[WBDluver]

well i cant see the color that well, but judging from the size and time of year I would say March Brown

 

[dcabarle]

FF says spinner
WBD says March brown

I say March Brown Spinner.

FF says spinner
WBD says March brown

I say March Brown Spinner.

I agree with Cabarle... Atta Boy, DC!

 

[Thursthouse]

FF I caught him probably about 7:00 pm. You're right my terminology may have been off - stilllllllllllllll learning haha

I don't know about that, it only has one tail.......:dizzy:

 

[WBDluver]

Matt, be part of the solution not part of the problem. Its a March Brown that lost one tail in a fight

Matt, be part of the solution not part of the problem. Its a March Brown that lost one tail in a fight with Macfly

No problem, I found the solution to your unfinished sentence.

Stenonema vicarium in the imago stage to be scientific... :nose-picking:


(and that one is doomed to fly tight, left handed circles since you tore off one of his tails)

If it looked like one of these guys it 100% was a Spinner.

That fly is in the stage AFTER the imago stage only seen in some less evolved individuals of that species... THAT fly is the rare Stenonema Vicarium Nascarus.

Thanks for the "straight line", Rusty...

From a fly fishing aspect based in history March Brown is likely a good choice for a common name. However from what I see this is likely a Stenonema femoratum. It is a female and is in the imago or spinner stage. The rusty stigma stain and crowded crossviens in the bulla of the forewing point to it anyway.

Walking Dead season premier on October 12th. Lets bring back more dead threads to celebrate. Lets see who can bring the most obscure thread back, and free fly line from DC for whoever kills it in the most viscious manner.
