This wild-looking little thing completely puzzled me. At first I was thinking beetle or month larva, until I got a look at the pictures on the computer screen. I made a couple of incorrect guesses before entomologist Greg Courtney pointed me in the right direction with Psychodidae. He suggested a possible genus of Thornburghiella, but could not rule out some other members of the tribe Pericomini.

All men who fish may in turn be divided into two parts: those who fish for trout and those who don't. Trout fishermen are a race apart: they are a dedicated crew- indolent, improvident, and quietly mad.

it sounds like everyone here is from PA so Naturally that must be the best place to move so everyone should move to PA and take up more stream space
There are no bad fishing days.

Okay Spence, you're welcome for a visit. You'll have to drink New Glarus, though.

When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."
