Niwot, Colorado Posts: 2 | Greetings from Colorado. I'm a new member of the troutnut site and have a question of those knowledgeable about mayflies. Earlier this year I had the privilege of getting to fish a private lake up near Estes Park, Colorado. I fished with 4 other friends from canoe, row boat and yes even a paddle boat. Near the end of our morning, a mayfly landed on my little finger and I managed to get a quick snapshot of it (attached). Any idea what this little critter is? I've looked around this and a few other sites but can't positively identify it. Thanks! Chester Shans | |
