Fished the Little Red for several years, but I've never seen any stoneflies (of any real significance) there. Until last weekend.
Noticed some pretty voracious rises, so I started paying closer attention to the bugs in the air and on the water. Caught one with my hand, and it was absolutely a small stonefly. Tied on a tiny chubby chernobyl (size 10-12 maybe?), and it was gangbusters.
Anyone else ever noticed these small stoneflies on the river? Have I been living under a rock?
