I see a yellow mayfly and just assume Sulphur.  Looking at it, it is too yellow for a Sulphur.

Sorry, I cannot refuse comment.

Big J is a fine angler, one of the most persistent anglers I have ever encountered.  I wish I had his angling drive, and the drive of folks like Doug, Ken, Boss, etc.  BUT, Big J's talents of biological description and ecological search image are limited to seeing a 6" brookie and its orientation in a translucent 30 centimeters of mountain stream water.  This is no fault of his.  His "yellow/sulphur" comment is what you get when you are trained number-cruncher transplanted to the wilds.


"Pure Sulfur is bright yellow."

Jacob, are you certain on that sulfur ID?

I think it's a female light cahill, but mudwall will correct us all.

Great report!

Yes, I believe you are on the right track --- some kind of "Cahill" (Heptageniidae), perhaps Leucrocuta.  Specimen is in such poor shape from J's ham-handed collecting methods, who the heck can correctly ID this critter? 

Mayflies are like a women's breast.  Follow this lead when collecting!

"In pornography, men often maul women's breasts. Big mistake. Breasts and nipples are very sensitive. Be very gentle with them. Caress them lightly."

In the broadest terms in the fly angling vernacular, "sulphur" could be considered correct also.  Challenge of angler common names = approximately a dozen critters called "sulphur".    This use to infuriate me in my younger years; now I don't give a shit.

PS:  Had to look up "Emeril Legasse".  Can't believe any male with a functioning penis would be familiar with this individual.   Dude's Man Card has been revoked for 3 months. 

Thanks mudwall..after all that, I like yellow bugs and breasts

Down the shore the sulfurs look different. And though I've never seen a spotted weakfish eat one, good fall fishing often correlates well with the timing of the butterfly migration.

I have nothing to hide.  Back when I was a rank bachelor, I used to come home from work and watch Emeril Live, Good Eats, and Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals and then cook my dinner.  It is literally how I learned to cook (although I should throw back to my true very first cooking instruction show which was this show that came on the Va Tech cable channel back in the 90s called Half Baked hosted by some stoner from New England - he was hilarious).

And watch where you wade, Hiner.  It's risky business when you self appoint yourself the keeper of mandom, with authority (whether real or assumed) to award or revoke man-cards.  Now, I will pay my respects to you with regards to your knowledge of booby manipulation, seeing as how you've probably been able to complete your own studies on those jigglers hanging off your old man chest. 

J, I am sorry for the sulphur (sulfur?) mess.  But, I ask you to take your angst up with Hiner.  Afterall, if it wasn't for him, I would never have made it beyond "yellow fly" at this stage in my trout angling journey.

I did not revoke your man-card.  I simply reported your emasculate comment to the appropriate Mandom MC committee of Aaron and Ben.  My MC was revoked more than a year ago.  I am now in Mandom's 7-step IAAP (I Am A Pussy) detoxification program.

Jokes aside, Big J opened the discussion with his yellow/sulphur remark.  An interesting thread would be a dialogue on angler common names. 

Good night.  Watching the debate in hopes of a tutorial on paying $750 or less in federal taxes.

Peace.

Speaking of pornography and Emeril Lagasse, anyone ever heard for the Emeril Lagasse move?
