I have always wanted t fish the isonychia hatch on the Pit River because of the feeding frenzy these large mayfly nymphs can prodduce, unfortunately I have never fished it nor have I seen the mayfly nymph or dun before my recent trip to the Trinity river.
There were tons of shucks littering the rocks by the banks.
Here's a picture with a fly right next to what it can represent.
I was even lucky enought o get a picture of their elusive adult stage mayfly better known as a Dun.
I cropped my original picture to show the maylfy a little closer. The sun resricted how close my camera could get to the insect. Iwould have blocked out light if I got much closer. Please excuse the slight pixelation.
I hope you guys enjoyed seeing these mayfly pictures.
