Great pics Bob! If you add the latin name we can put this post in the stonefly category. And the recommended hook size to contrast the 12 for comparison. A #12 would be too big as you know.

I can confirm that the little black stones were out in force on the Lehigh this past weekend. Unfortunately, it might be a while until it is fishable.

What characters are you using to determine genus and species of this stonefly?
