Tom,

Ha, I was also fishing and hiding. Mostly hiding.. Caught nice rainbow and lost big one. Confirmed that the stoneflies are indeed Skwalas. Caught some mature nymphs and a couple of adults. The adults were a little smaller than Skwalas I collect on the Yuba and other West Coast waters and in Montana. The two I caught could have been males as there is some sexual dimorphism. I honestly haven’t checked their sex yet. There was quite a few Skwalas emerging. Was actually impressed with the number and diversity of the invertebrate community. Number and diversity is a big deal.
