For the past week or more I've been having stoneflies crawling on me while fishing in 3 different counties. I know what the nymphs look like and also the adults. My understanding is stonefly nymphs are crawlers, not swimmers.
I never see them when I am wading until I feel them crawling on my head or neck. Do they crawl onto my waders and then crawl up and hatch into winged adults? So strange that I've never seen one actually hatching. Are they flying onto me after hatching? Also strange that I never see em on the front of my waders, always on the back of my neck and ears.
