letumgo 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2007 I found these guys earlier this week week while fishing the West Branch of the Ausable River in New York (close to Lake Placid). The fishing was slow that morning so my son and I went bug hunting to see what was availible to the fish. We found these dried out husks on the downstream side of many of the larger boulders in the stream. The husks were very dry, suggesting that they have been there for quite a while. I was interested to see how large these husks were (1.25 to 1.5" long). The markings on the husks were very bold black and white. Let me know if you can identified these guys.

Sagittarius62 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2007 I see that exact thing on one stretch of the Saint Regis in Franklin County. I always asumed they were stonefly nymph husks. I also tend to find them too late as it were, and they are quite dry. I have tried fishing a black stonefly nymph imitation there a few times and never had any luck. One of these days I am going to hit it on the right day, and then we'll get 'em Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
