With some anglers it is the Mayfly that does it for them. With others it may be Olives or Midge. Some love the Cranefly above all others. For me though, the fly I love to see on the water above all others is this fellow:-



Plecoptera? I don't know which one this is exactly, but I love him dearly. I fished a rise to a hatch of these yesterday - It was just unforgettable.

Alder Fly Gander....

You'll probably know better than me, but I thought this was some kind of Stonefly as the wings were laid flat not tented. The water was Clatto.
