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!

Nice looking bug!!!!

Good guess, or google:).......... they do look similar.

It was a genuine guess. When I was younger, The Guttata was a good early June hatch on the Musky. My first thought was; that it may be Dipterum.. The tail configuration is incorrect. I still think it is some sub species of Para

Your first thought was a dipterum? They aren't found in the US...you must be googling. :) It isn't a paralep.......promise.

Grobert,

Tomfly has a wealth of incorrect information rattling around in his head. He doesn't need to use google to be wrong.
 
Moosekid I get it, you don't like me. I don't care. I don't bother you. I expect the same form you.
 
Well, I learned something from seeing this bug and asking a knowledgeable person.....I guessed wrong the first time as well.
I googled Tom's guess, because I don't know enough about bugs to know any Latin...small brown mayfly and large green caddis are the way I do it....ya' know emergers and duns and spinners is the extent of my knowledge...so I am learning slowly from friends and google.....thought it might be fun to see what others know as well....I guess you're all (well not all..... Grobert) as dumb as me...:)


Come on Tom, keep looking, you'll find it...It is less exotic than you think....very common name, and more abundant than I could have ever thought, it's the first time I have seen one in 8-9 years of looking at these things....
 
The regulars on the Farmington call them chocolate duns. Someone here will finally get it correct. Try Jason Neuswanger's Troutnut site. His is one of the best identification sites out there.

I googled "loser" and the name of everyone that posts or lurks here came up......some of them twice! :crap:
 
OK....now that ALL the experts have weighed in....;)

I'm not an expert, so are they the same as this, because this is what it is, at least what I was told by someone with a college degree..:) and with the leg color and tails and size and time of year and location, I would agree..

If they are DC will one day send someone a triple taper fly line..it won't be ddluver though....:)

Nope, gotta look closer at the hind wings, wrong shape for needhami.....this stuff isn't always easy and there is natural variation within species just like with humans.

Rusty the hind wing shape is exactly like the needhami picture I posted in the link(the yahoo link).....put your glasses on old fart....:)

This info came from someone with a degree in entomology.....

After looking again...this is definitely a "little dark Hendrickson" all of you boobs guessed wrong and will not win a fly line....I will let DC know right now not to send it....:)


Heron, I believe YOU also posted on this thread...something about losers? :) So you fit right in!!!! :)
 
You guys are putting way to much weight on some guys with college degrees. We all know it was the same commie higher education system that produced all the scientists that made up the global warming lie. Bug scientists are just as reliable as climate scientist. Internet forums are the only real source of truth and knowledge.

Someone woke upon the wrong side of his futon this morning.

I love the smell of sarcasm in the morning........

The bug IS a "Little Dark Hendrickson"......Ephemerella needhami for all you "educated" boobs....
