Marty - I certainly will. Everytime that I have headed out there has been only for an hour or so. I would love to get some more time in there. I'll let you know when I'm heading back up (which might be today but just to see if that insects back...)

Ahh, Finally. I have found it. Wooly aphid. The ones I saw were a bit different, but I am positive that this is my guy.
Naw, I think mantis is right. You captured the elusive tinkerbelle. She was just disguised as an aphid.
Ephoron Leukon aka/ white fly
or maybe
Tinkerbell

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

Good to see those who still are at it.The group we hung around with tied their own flies to match whatever it was they thought was there for bugs. And people caught fish. They solved their own problems, and caught fish. That was about as 'technical' as it got. What the successful anglers had however was a passion, a dedication to their sport - fly fishing - which combined their knowledge from year to year with a desire to better themselves.
Hey Betty, that's not a white mayfly, way too early, at least in my part of the world. I think he determined it to be an aphid... I still think it's tinkerbelle.
Yeah it was an Aphid. I don't know why I said Mayfly in the first post. The first two pictures were my attempts, and the third was exactly what I had but taken by someone who knows how to work a camera. Aphids were pretty far off my guessing list until I looked at some pictures. Besides I know that it was not tinkerbelle...I didn't fly after getting its dust all over me - and believe me, I tried.
Gburg,
I'm a member of one of the clubs at the Narrows. I'll give you a holler one of these times I fish it .However,I probably won't fish it much until Fall if we don't get more rain. Water was low and they spooked easily. I just can't see stressing the big ones.
Best,
Steve
it's all good drifts
