Waning personal interest in the typical social media platform, coupled with my seeming inability to speak as an individual there has me simply posting my photos on Instagram these days. in an effort to keep the information flowing on this site as well i will re-post my instagrams here so follow along if you have a mind. Going to take a look at trout stream diversity at this time of year. Mid May through mid June has a Crazy amount of hatches overlapping. I'll start with the old standby sulpher. This is a female ephemerella invaria. All of today's insect photos were shot on the same WNY wild trout stream. Stay tuned.

Male Sulpher dun. Worth noting the size and color differences from the female. Both shot within an hour same pool.

The evil little black caddis. Small dark and hard to see. One of the Easts great masked hatches. Even worse are the invisible spent ones hiding amongst the sulphers. Don't let them fool you. Probably Chimmara.

Caddis of every description. I'm not good on caddis names but these guys are familiar to any Eastern trout fishermen. 14-16 generally mottled tannish wing with a tan to brown body

March Brown, the big undependable. This time of year would not be complete without waiting around for these guys to hatch. The trout do so love their big fat clumsiness.

Faithful sidekick to the March Brown the delicate Grey Fox. One of the many McCaffertium that used to be Stenenoma.

While we're in the Mc's here's one of the coolest of the lot, the orange Cahill. Probably has a Latin name as well. Not too common but still present on a lot of the Easts cleaner waters. Never even tried to tie one.

Since we're on the oddballs here's one I was happy to finally capture Epeorus Vitreus or the Coral Dun. AKA the Pink Lady of the Catskills.

The raciest of the Drakes the Isonychia or Slate Drake. Big and meaty and prolific. They make a great searching pattern. Once the fish get one they are always looking for more.
