Ahhhh, those first stone flies of spring!

Happy day's for fly fishermen.  I love to see the little stones starting to show :)... Spring is coming folks!  Whoop whooooo!


My wife called me outside while I was working to show me this little guy... The first of spring's "hatches" :)

  1. Those little dudes sure travel! I've found them miles away from a stream and still crawling.

    1. Very true RML! I have a nice little stream across the street that these guys live in. It's a right of spring each year to see them again :)

  2. Nice! The only bugs my wife shows me are the ones I need to remove from her path.

    1. Ha - Drew that's funny :). I got lucky and have a very outdoorsy wife, she even field dressed her first deer :)... well, she autopsied it actually. One of our early dates was seining a local stream to check out the bugs. That was 16~ years ago. Despite all that, and her surprising willingness to grab any and all snakes to check them out... she once called me on the cell phone from the garage to say she wouldn't get out of her car until I got rid of the huge spider on the handrail. We all have our weak points I guess!

  3. Will I have seen a few of them, but not like other years.
    I have faced many wild dangers in my lifetime, and showed no fear. But let a bee land on my arm and I'll freak out to no limit. We indeed have our weak points.
