  1. lmao thats awsome andy. when u see him nextyear tell him were too pick it up...
  2. yea dude thats hwo they get ehre in teh first place...once the river was cleaned up the eggs survived the journey further and further downstream from banff and i could see how the flood would have pushed billions of insects down.....next step fosheeze...same with the broonies being fall spawners...the bows survived yes butthe broonies had mroe than enough water lmao wich would have opened up alot more spawning grounds that year...6 more years!
  3. LMAO thats awsome and thats the truth brother
  4. well ive seen some fresh shucks the past week...so have you...so there will be a few adults...rick brett tom and i collected a male and female yesterday...below policemans...they will be happenin upstream too...bring the flashlights! and trout love to eat big juicy grasshoppers lmao
  5. u know the direction i go with a shovel in a hole dude...especially when its involving fishing...45 degree angle up!...so lets do a sunrise session brother...we know the spot..ill take the pics u make the notes...ill call ya when im done workin and they are still emergeing so the females are still abundants as we know takes 3-5 days before the females die...in my sample jar anyway...
  6. yes i agree they need a day or two too mature develop eggs and bring up teh blood temps but there body temps are at teh highest when...just as the sun sets...just like the fish and any other coldblooded animal...why do snakes turtles fish crocs etc sun themselves at lateafternoon/sundown...BUT! u need too re-read the link u sent me...from our pals at the u of a scientific name Claassenia sabulosa habitat Larger, coolwater streams and rivers. seasonality Adults emerge in late June to mid-July. identification Males (length = 19.6 mm) are brachypterous, but females (length = 31.4 mm) are long-winged. Males have genital hooks darkly sclerotized at their tips and arising from lateral angles of Tergum 10. Males also have a raised knob or "hammer" on Sternum 9. The female subgenital plate is broadly rounded, usually with a shallow median recession and is little produced over Sternum 9. The subgenital plate has a row of spinules along its posterior margin. Nymphs have anal gills and an occipital ridge composed of spinules. life history The life cycle is three years in Saskatchewan, and the nymphal habitat is under stones in swift riffle areas. Adults are nocturnal, emerging at nightfall and when active at dusk or night have the ability to move on the surface of the water somewhat like water-striders. Mating can occur as soon as the female emerges from its nymphal exuvium. conservation The species is not endangered, but as with all stoneflies, it is sensitive to organic pollution. diet info Nymphs are carnivorous, feeding on mayfly nymphs, black fly and chironomid larvae. range In Alberta, this species is known from the Saskatchewan River system, and from boreal and mountain streams. In North America, it ranges from the Cordilleran region of British Columbia and Alberta through the Cascade and Rocky Mountains to New Mexico and east to northern Manitoba and northern Ontario. taxonomic hierarchy Animalia; Arthropoda; Insecta; Plecoptera; Perlidae; Perlinae; Claassenia; sabulosa and the link... http://www.entomology.ualberta.ca/searchin...;c=7&s=2130 NUFF SAID!
  7. lmao dude keep fighting but darwin says otherwise...windy days make it hard for any bug to fly crawl emerge etc. hence shitty odds of having a successful egglaying flight crawl emergence or whatever...we talked about this with the caddis stones hoppers maylies midges...wind pushes em over or down into the riffle and kills em.....i agree with all that except the last few bars...and u know why...the only stoneflies i have found are under rocks locks and in the grass when lights out....u were the one skiddin skid bitches all lastyear nightfishing...hoppers i suppose i must have it assed backwards sorry
  8. maxwell

    Cutts!

    thats unreal...thanks for posting
  9. greg wut are ya smokin..."stoneflies" not "skidbitches"...lay there eggs at night...were are your reading/dreaming this...ive heard of salmonflies laying there eggs during hte day but still havnt observed .... however on many occasions by myself and with you we have seen teh emergence and egglaying runs start at dark and end shortly after sun up......
  10. lmao wered ya big that one up...
  11. lmao yea sumn like that....woke up last night ina cold sweat...think i might aswell tye flies all night tonight lmao..
  12. lmao i only hunt pets by myself...dont worry greg n biran aint no and arnt gonna know shiznit..and there is never enough petfish..but this is more like an epic mortal combat battle.....round 2 is commin up soon...
  13. thats the name of the game and good on ya for shortenin it up too save u the frustration....i might need a little weight or a beedhead too get tahtnymph down too...mosttimes i fish hopper dropper when fish are feeding in the film or jsut below teh surface...if i ant getten em on a hopper dropper its time too deep nymphs or dosomething else...
  14. i think fish eat hoppers and stones...i think hopper and stone patterns ar eone in teh same and coudl eb fished in either situation adn i also think thatt depending on teh day u can kill em on hoppers and other days on stones...this year has bin a amazing stonefly year and when fishing "hoppers" in teh evenigns and early mornings its more likely that they fish are eating stones...but if u fish a stonefly in the afternoon i bet they take it for a hopper...just a thought...shitshow!
  15. hey dude htey dont work everyday...mostly in the evenings and along the windy side of a grassy banks...
