Guest Report post Posted June 7, 2004 I found this guy on my car roof and took him to work with me. While I appreciated the company, he seemed happy when released! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 7, 2004 It's hard to tell from here but either a Brown Drake or a March Brown. I'd say it's a brown drake though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2004 Hard to tell from that far away,but those have to be the longest tails i've ever seen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Kekel 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2004 It's hard to tell from the pic, are the wings mottled. If not it's not a drake. The body is also pretty slim to be a march brown and again if no mottled wings that's not it. My "guess" would lean towards Isonychia, If the legs are really light then it's a definite.

SALMONATOR 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2004 I agree, it's tough to tell from the pic, but I'd lean toward a brown drake. Here's a few pics of some of the other flies mentioned. Eastern March Brown: Gray Drake: Brown Drake: Isonychia Sadleri Dun (male): Isonychia Sadleri Dun (female): Isonychia Bicolori Dun (male): Isonychia Bicolori Dun (female): Isonychia Bicolori Spinner (female): Does something here look pretty close? Ain't "hatch-matching" a blast this time of year when everything happens at dark and about all you can tell is that the flies are kinda' big? Good luck!!
