These elegant little mayflies are widespread and can be locally abundant enough to produce good hatches, although they are not something most fly fishermen routinely encounter. The important species in the East are Serratella deficiens and, to a lesser extent, Serratella serrata. Serratella tibialis produces good hatches in the West.

Went over to the Dark Side the past two days. Thanks to all who helped. By the way, Jason, fished spinners also.

Does anyone know the color of the emerging/freshly emerged dun?

Jason: I was fishing in Central PA with a buddy on Sunday and we collected 2 different BWO species from the water. A really small one, about 22 to 24, had an olive/gray body. The other, which was about a size 20, had a gray body and thorax and was matched well with natural beaver fur. I don't know the names, of course, but I saw them with my own eyes. We did well fishing an emerger/dun pattern in sizes 20 and 22. We tied some with trailing shucks of amber or dun. We used a light olive thread for the body, sparse gray beaver dubbing for the thorax, and dun snow shoe for the wing.
