Some of you might remember when last summer, I posted a link
to a story in the PGH Post-Gazette about mayflies at PNC Park during a Pirates
game.
Since then, I've seen them at many urban locations along the
Allegheny where I live and work ; gas stations, the grocery store parking lot, .
. . but last night, while taking Muddy Waters out for a night-time walk, we saw
a big healthy Hex on the back door window ( sorry no photo). I'd venture
he wanted to see what was on SportsCenter, but I'm not sure.
What a great sight though. We live in a dense
single family area, originally developed between 1900 and 1920, less than a mile
from the river. Somehow, its always been "the city" though, and I'm not
used to seeing the bugs there.
Here's hoping the improvements in the water quality will
continue, both here and elsewhere, where you live and where
you fish.
