TOPIC: Entomologists, c'mon!!
Entomologists, c'mon!! 2 years, 1 month ago #80226

Been puzzled by this upwinged ephemeropteran which is very prolific on a crystal clear Club dam in spring
 Anybody able to help out please, or, if not able to supply the "techy" term, at least a fly pattern (dry) to imitate it  Cheers, tonyb  |

It looks like some thing from the mayfly family. Perhaps a 'green drake' in those colours could work. Maybe you could put this post on a flyfishing website, you would probably get an exact pattern then. Cheers, Dave. Never thought about a dedicated site Dave, good idea, though I'm still hopeful we have a few knowledgeable Fly Guys on our site  |

Tonyb, here is a pic of the green drake mayfly.
 It's very similar to the pic you have posted and both are of the mayfly family. A green drake or blue dun pattern (winged variety) in the colour you need should do the trick. cheers, Dave. |
