This topic is about the Mayfly Genus Serratella

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.

Yes, thanks to Taxon, Gonzo, JAD, and Konchu I am developing a functional knowledge of the bug and the ways fish respond to it. Results have been very satisfying. I'm even, as Gonzo can tell you, thinking of changing my avatar to Lou Streamwalker.

From what I witnessed the other day, That Name should be
Louis Stream-swimmer. I thought old Newt was trying to get a fishes eye view of the underside of Teloganopsis.

Careful, John, people in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks at their neighbors. Nor should people with stinky freezers.

Anyway, I took my little dip in the evening, after Darth was in the trees preparing for transformation.

Jason, it's a maroon 5wtsabre. Those 4wt's are no match for the weapons of the empire.
