{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Golden Stonefly

Misha - these are honestly even cooler than anyone has given credit.  Earlier this spring I found some large stonefly nymphs (similar in size to what you have there) but I never took it further than "wow, that's a huge stonefly".  

Have you stumbled upon a 'white miller' hatch?  I'd really like to see (and fish) one of those in my lifetime.  I guess I just need to camp on the Shenandoah sometime and hope for the best ;)

Wow.  Never seen any golden stones around here.  They do produce some outrageous hatches and fishing out west though.  We need to clone that sucker and introduce them on the trout rivers around here!

For all you entomologists (Gene *ahem*) out there, I thought you might like to see a couple snaps I've taken lately. The first two are of a Golden Stonefly I observed up at Big Hunting Creek in mid-July. Looked like a small hummingbird flying down the stream. The third pic is of a crawdad that tried to eat (a version of) my crawdizzle  last week on the Monocacy. It catches fish too. 

Wish it wasn't raining on my day off...
