Nope. If those things were emerging from the lake, I doubt I would stay in it! It's about four inches to big. Ugly Bug! Thanks for the link and pics.

Tom,
I'm still wondering about the Dobsonfly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobsonfly -- it's a stonefly wanna be. It crawls out like a stonefly and drys on the foliage along the banks.

Nope, it wasn't a Mayfly. Its wings were never upright. It had to be a monster caddis or some type of smaller stonefly. I wish I had taken a picture.

Tom: It was probably the Green Drake mayfly, reportedly one of the
larger mayflies in the West, and provides one of the grandest hatches on

When on the Lake I noticed a large, clumsy fly emerge that looked"Tom Davenport" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 7/30/2006 7:29 PM >>>
like a Salmon fly. I watched one crawl out of its nymphal shuck.
They are very clumsy flyers and the adults often ended up in the lake.
Another fisherman on the Lake my first day caught three cutthroat
using a small muddler minnow on top which made a very accurate
representation of the nymph emerging from its shuck. Those three
fish were the only ones HE caught in three days of fishing. I didn't
have a small muddler, I tried using a stimulator with no success.
The single Cutthroat I caught took the pheasant tail dropper.
I have always associated Salmon flies with rivers, and know that they
crawl out of the water to escape their nymphal shuck. Is there a
variety of Salmon fly that lives in lakes and emerges from the
surface? Or was I mistaking this bug for something else?
It had a large green body but only half the size of a large salmon
fly,it had wings stretched across its abdomen like a salmon fly, that
proved to be double wings when it flew.
Any body out there familiar with a Stone fly that lives in lakes?
Could it have been a very large Caddis?

I found this page by accident looking for flies for the Yellowstone
trip thought some of you would enjoy it.
