going overboard on flies

[TroutBumDave]

About once every three years I am able to "time it right" on our family property near Ashton, ID. The Warm River flows into the Snake right by our place and when the stoneflies are out, it is an unbelievable smorgasbord. A good way to tell if you're early or late is to look under the nearest bridge. If there are thousands of bugs clinging to the walls and rocks, take a closer look; they've likely already hatched and those 'bugs' are empty casings left behind. I've been up there while it was happening and it is amazing to watch the critters climb up out of the water and hang on the walls, only to burst out the back and eventually fly away.
