Default Was that a sedge ?

Dont laugh boys. On my regular river, i rarely, if ever see sedges, so i'm no expert, hence the question.

On another river, with which i am just becoming familiar ( The Mulcair, Abingdon area, Limerick ) , there was a lot of fly life yesterday evening ( including some huge looking duns - mayflies at dusk ? ) , but the fly that i caught most regularly by hand had flat opaque wings on its back ( not roof shaped like a sedge ) , mid green with a light green ball at end of tail, three sets of legs ( short ) , and two small antennae.

Does this qualify as a sedge ?

(More to the point, why would the little sods not take my green klink ? )

Sounds like an egg laying female sedge with the green ball being the eggs but I'm no expert you would be better to post in the entomoly section of the forum and I'm someone will be able to tell you a bit more.

Main problem with you klinkhamar could possibly have been size?
