Thread: Golden Stone Model ....

  1. #1

    Default Golden Stone Model ....

    Had a guest at the house this evening. Took the opportunity to get some fresh pix.

    Our typical view when they are at rest, like on the kitchen counter ....



    The fishies's typical view ....



    The length of the body was right at .75 inch. The overall length, including antennae and tails, was right at 1.5 inches.

    I can't say about fly fishing but there's a lot of feed lots in Kansas.

    I was going to say it looked like a skwala too. A good model and good pics in any case.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    .... between Golden Stones and Skwalas, but the Golden Stones are a bit bigger and hatch later. I think with the lack of runoff so far this year, the streams are a bit warmer so the bugs are earlier than usual. Of course, it is my first year in this neck of the woods, and I could be misreading the situation.
