Smoky Winged Sedge -Apatania Incerta

[sandfly]

hatches in early april,
size 14-16 sometimes mistaken for a grannom hatch.

What color is the underside?
Do you know the latin name?
I imagine mistaking these for Grannom wouldn't be a crucial mistake in matching the hatch.

Apatania Incerta, medium cased caddis heavyily weighted works wonders for these just before pupation. emergence and egg laying occur all day

 

[JackM]

The larvae also are brown or another color? And what is the case, rolled pebbles and sand?

Don't bring up the G word! It's too far away right now to get my hopes up in the middle of winter!

 

[sandfly]

I used to kinda sorta like you sandfly! lol


Wetflies for the grannoms are the way to go btw. I trail one off my wet and swing and catch a lot of fish on the wet.
