Ephemera Guttulata or Green Drake is a large mayfly 8-10 in size. The hatch begins around the last week in May & goes for a few weeks. The hatch can be sporadic throughout the day or be concentrated at dusk. Cloudy, cool days make for long sparse hatches. On hot days they wait until dusk & emerge en mass. The nymphs live in the silt of streams and usually hatch from the edges. The spinners or Coffin flies come out at dusk in huge numbers & are the highlight of the season. Three tails. Female duns- two color phases ![](http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/ginsengsullivan/INSECTS/DSC_0045-copy-2.jpg) ![](http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/ginsengsullivan/INSECTS/_DSC0035.jpg) ![](http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/ginsengsullivan/INSECTS/_DSC0042-2-3.jpg) ![](http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/ginsengsullivan/INSECTS/_DSC0056-2.jpg) ![](http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/ginsengsullivan/INSECTS/_DSC0104-copy.jpg) ![](http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/ginsengsullivan/INSECTS/_DSC0129-copy.jpg) ![](http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/ginsengsullivan/INSECTS/_DSC0180-copy-2.jpg) male dun ![](http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/ginsengsullivan/INSECTS/_DSC0133-2.jpg) yellow drake ![](http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/ginsengsullivan/INSECTS/166.jpg) Hair Wing Emerger ![](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh230/OOFS/SHOP%20FLIES/_DSC0264.jpg) HOOK- DAIICHI 1260 10-8 THREAD- WHITE 8/0 SHUCK/TAIL- CREAM ANTRON YARN RIB- GREY 3/0 THREAD ABDOMEN- LT CAHILL SUPERFINE DUBBING HACKLE- GRIZZLY WING- DYED OLIVE DEER HAIR Disabled Dun ![](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh230/OOFS/SHOP%20FLIES/_DSC0312.jpg) HOOK- DAIICHI 1260 10-8 THREAD- TAN 8/0 TAIL/SHUCK- NATURAL OSTRICH FIBERS ABDOMEN- HARE’S EAR DUBBING WING- DYED OLIVE DEER HAIR THORAX- SNOWSHOE RABBIT SPUN IN LOOP female spinner ![](http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/ginsengsullivan/INSECTS/GD-SPINNER.jpg) Deer Hair Spinner ![](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh230/OOFS/SHOP%20FLIES/MONO-EXTENDED-BODY-GREEN-DR.jpg) HOOK- DAIICHI 1180 #12 TAIL- PHEASANT TAIL FIBERS EXTENDED BODY- MONO DUBBED OVER WITH LT CAHILL SUPERFINE WING- DEER HAIR DIVIDED Big Bird Nymph ![](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh230/OOFS/SHOP%20FLIES/BIGBIRDNYMPH.jpg) HOOK- DAIICHI 1260 #8 THREAD- TAN 8/0 TAIL/BACK- NATURAL OSTRICH FIBERS RIB- FINE GOLD OVAL TINSEL ABDOMEN- TAN OSTRICH FIBERS TWISTED UP AND WRAPPED THORAX- NAT GREY EMU FEATHER PALMERED EYES- MED MONO BLACK
