Gavin Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Wing looks to long for midge. Caddis, small stonefly, maybe a leaf hopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Thinking stonefly most likely. Too skinny for caddis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 The general shape, the way the wings lay, and the splayed antennae make me think caddis. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Regardless of what name we give it, I guess the only thing that matters is whether or not the fish you wanna catch are keyed in on them. And if they are, will something 3/16" long and "041" Tan in color do just fine ? I bet so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I'm backing off the caddis. I think Gavin's right--the back end should be wise on a caddis John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fly guy Posted October 24, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2014 Been searching online and a few books I have on stones and caddis no luck. As I said there were little clouds of them bright white moth like flying making circular patterns and such just above the waters surface. The back end of the wings do not widen out like a caddis fly though. Also when you flipped them over their body's were tan fading to olive at the butt end, funky little things. Fish loved them but wouldn't touch an x-caddis or ehc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mac's Orphan Posted November 16, 2014 Members Share Posted November 16, 2014 Pheasant, quail and gonna give ducks a try this year. Got a couple Brittanys to help Britts??? Now you're talk'n!! Very smart, easy to train, full of energy, great with kids, natural retrievers - gotta love 'em! It's all I hunt with. Did I mention they are great wing shots as well? LOL! Back on topic - looks stonefly-ish to me. If I'd known I was gonna live this long, I would have taken better care of myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
