Need help identifying a mayfly

That's a good picture, next time try to get a picture of the viens
in a
wing, and then go to the website I manage for our flyfishing club.
Roger Rohrbeck has developed an identification scheme that gets you
to
the genus for Washington mayflies, and I think that includes most of
what you can find in Montana too.

You mean like this?
http://www.geocities.com/troutbum_mt/wings.html

You've got a great picture there, but it's hard to separate the viens
in the two wings so I can follow the questions from Roger's pages. The
key is to slip a piece of paper between the wings, or just pull a wing
off the fly and shoot it separately.


www.offc.org is the website. Click on the entomology link, and then
the WA Mayfly identification section. The questions are full of
technical terms, but they are all defined on a page also linked to
on
the entomology page. Roger is still working on this stuff and would
appreciate any comments anyone has on the page.

VERY useful site. The only thing I would suggest is actual pictures
with the descriptions, which I understand is going to be very hard
to do. Perhaps users can submit pics? Running through the Q&A and
then having possibilities is great and the descriptions are great,
but the lack of an actual pic to confirm is kind of a drag.

I couldn't agree with you more. I've been taking pictures of the
mayflies I see on the river and sending them to Roger so he can have
the kind of pictures you're talking about. I'm sure he'd appreciate
pictures from you too.

Thanks,


Chas

an actual pic of each would be, to quote a North Dakotan, "the

Just for the record, I have never said that, or even heard anybody
else say that...

that he can be sure to be on vacation and far away during the same
period)


Hah! I'm on to your sorry plan. I saw in another thread that
you are headed out to Spokane, and I will be in the area -- Post
Falls, ID, at about the same time. Current plans are to be in
ID from about May 16-20 or so, and then we will be heading back
to Butte to fish the Big Hole from the 21 to the 25th, give or
take. Drop me an email if you want to hook up and do some fishing.

Kevin,
whose only contact with sheep lately was roasting a leg of lamb
for Easter dinner.
