| Buffalo, NY Posts: 64 | I collected these insects from the head waters of a spring creek just south-west of rochester, ny. In this stream i don't believe the mayfly nymphs play a significant role in a trouts diet until they hatch, as they are out numbered 500-1 by scuds on the stream bed and only become distinguishable to trout on their way up to the surface or while in the surface film. Sorry for the crude macro photos ... I'm still trying to prefect this part of my game...  | |

 Site Editor Royse City, TXPosts: 1350 | Andrew, I believe your photo labeled #3 to be of a Baetis nymph, probably B. tricaudatus, and your photos labeled 2 & 1 to be of Ephemerella nymphs, both probably E. subvaria. | |
