toolman Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 There were some pretty impressive spinner clouds last night but it was too dark to see what they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Tricos usually show up on the Bow in early August (might be earlier this year), and you see the swarms of spinners in the mornings, not the evenings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolman Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Definitely not Trico's. Had a look at the spinners this evening. Body a cream color with black thorax, grey fore wings, minute or absent hind wings, 2 very short tails with banding. About 4-5mm body length. Eyes were on stalks so these were males that we looked at. I meant to collect a few to view at home under magnification but we were busy rowing, fishing streamers and looking for risers. I'll look at them again on the weekend. I'm thinking they are most likely from the Baetidae family.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
