Posts: 13 | So I was doing some Winter fly fishing in Northwestern New Jersey. I’ve had caught a few Caddis casings in my time but not this! Sorry for the background picture might be hard to identify this bug? I think a mayfly nymph but not sure?? Can anyone help? | |

York & Starlight PA Posts: 2733 | I hope you weren't fishing in a fly only stream. You might have a hard time explaining that to a fish warden. Yes it is a mayfly nymph. There is at least a 100% chance I'm wrong so one of the other experts hopefully will also chime in. | |

Healdsburg, CA Posts: 356 | I don't think it's an Epeorus because it appears to have three tails rather than the two an Epeorus would have. As to what it actually is, other than a mayfly nymph, your guess is as good as mine. | |

Site Editor Royse City, TXPosts: 1350 | Hi Matt- Sorry to have disappointed you. I too had no idea what it was, other than sharing Mark's belief that its 3 tails eliminated the possibility of it being of genus Epeorus. And truth be known, until after having seen Mark's post, I hadn't even observed that it had 3 tails. :-) Best regards, Roger | |
