Gavin Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Wing looks to long for midge. Caddis, small stonefly, maybe a leaf hopper.
Gavin Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Thinking stonefly most likely. Too skinny for caddis.
ness Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 The general shape, the way the wings lay, and the splayed antennae make me think caddis. John
fishinwrench Posted October 23, 2014 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.
ness Posted October 23, 2014 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
brittsnbirds Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 off the subject Caddis, what kind of Birds do you hunt?? Looks kinda like a crane fly?
Members Fly guy Posted October 24, 2014 Author Members 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.
ness Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 off the subject Caddis, what kind of Birds do you hunt?? Looks kinda like a crane fly? Pheasant, quail and gonna give ducks a try this year. Got a couple Brittanys to help John
Members Mac's Orphan Posted November 16, 2014 Members 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...
