Gfen, I want a fly with a little more trainular shape then a common hares ear to mimic these guys. A hares ear will work obviously, but like to have more variety to my nymph box.

basically the may flyies with large triangular shaped heads and bodies with thick legs. They cling to the rocks on the bottom.

Look up Oliver Edwards stone clinger pattern for a better idea.

When Oliver Edwards is talking about "march brown,Olive Uprights, Yellow May’s, August Duns", he is talking about insects that do not exist in North America.

 

[mike_richardson]

These exact insects may not exist in the U.S. but we do have stone clinger varieties of mayfly nymphs.

 

[attackone]

most people just call them clinger nymphs, there are 4 types clingers, crawlers, burrowers and swimmmers

 

[mike_richardson]

po-tay- toe, po-tot-o, tom- mate-oe /tom-mot-oe, same thing.

a tear drop shaped nymph with a fat head, thick legs, gills on its abdomin, long slender tails, flat profile. you get the gist.

Done explaining things to people who already know exactly what im talking about

What's an Olive Upright?

 

[sandfly]

po-tay- toe, po-tot-o, tom- mate-oe /tom-mot-oe,

po-ta-toe = sweet
po-tot-o = russet

tom-mate-oe = fruit
tom-mot-oe = vegtable

there for they are not the same !!

It's a mayfly that's found in Great Britain, but that doesn't exist in North America.

If you read the earlier posts, you'll see the context.
