Female Strophopteryx fasciata (Early Brown Stonefly) Stonefly AdultFemale Strophopteryx fasciata (Early Brown Stonefly) Stonefly Adult View 4 PicturesSeveral stoneflies of this species were the first adult insects I found in 2004 when I started this site. The hatch was sparse but lasted a good part of the day, and I noted a few good rises despite the early season cold. They ended up struggling on the water's surface fairly often.
