Title: Identification Please
Post by: Clan Chief on May 31, 2010, 11:04:33 PM
Can anyone tell me what this fly is. There were hunners o' them at Camps reservoir today. I'm not too clued up on the entomology stuff. I'm sure most will know on here.

I'll guess - and it is a guess - olive upright spinner.

That's what it looks like to me too but I'm not so sure if they are a still water species or not :dunno

Looks like you have it right. It looks like an Olive Upright, Rithrogena semicolorata.

I'll go for the same beast.

Probably from the Camps burn? Was that from the top end near the farm Clan Chief?

No. I was fishing at the South East end where a burn runs in there.
