Oh that's cool! I didn't know we had ANY EPT around here (ephemeropters. plecopters....and trichopters!)We have lots of all of these. During the summer, I see large quantities of all three of these swarming parking
lot lights near a stream( that has water in it all year long). I am not sure how many actually live in the potomac.
I also see the occasional fishfly (helgramite adult). They are scarry looking beasts.
The water quality monitoring programs in Maryland (a number of organizations participate) do macro-invertebrate surveys in local streams. Mayflies and stonefiles are an indicator of a healthy stream. If all you find are diptera(fly) larva, the stream is less healthy.

I've never seen a stonefly nymph in any DC streams...and only 1-2 mayflies. Thank you for posting this! That's extremely cool.

even with the adults popping on warm days i still fish an emerger/nymph pattern unless you see fish rising.

I am no entomologist so I wonder if anyone can identify this? There were thousands coming off the water at Great Falls today in the warm sun.
