I captured this small caddisfly from one of many dense mating swarms under overhanging alder trees in a slow stretch of the river. There were localized rises of trout under the swarms.

This caddisfly was collected from the Bois Brule River on July 29th, 2004 and added to Troutnut.com on January 25th, 2006.
