This topic is about the Mayfly Species Maccaffertium terminatum
I have found no information about this species in angling literature, but one mediocre evening on the West Branch of the Delaware I found them to be a substantial part of the mixed bag of cahills and other mayflies causing a half-hearted rise of trout. Read more...

| Fairbanks, AK Posts: 1115 | I just wrote up what I found on the page for this species. I was mildly surprised to see so many of a species I've never seen mentioned in an angling context -- at least a few dozen throughout the evening. They piqued my curiosity. | |

| Indiana Posts: 200 | Larvae found on debris, rocks and aquatic vegetation in medium to large streams. Coarse sand/gravel substrate. Spinners and duns are out around June-July in the Northeast and for a longer period (May-Aug) in the central and southern parts of its range. Most of this was gleaned from: Bednarik AF, McCafferty WP. 1979. Biosystematic revision of the genus Stenonema (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae). Can. Bull. Fish. Aquat. Sci. 201: 73 pp. PS. This species was classified in the genus Stenonema until relatively recently. | |
