They’re not green drakes, there hecubas. At least that’s what I told the guy who was arguing that he had been seeing lots of green drakes on the Flathead lately. Another guy told me they were sulphers. Anyway, here are a couple images. Photos are borrowed from westfly.com and troutnut.com where you can geek out on all sorts of bug stuff.
Mohogany dun - brownish - size 12-16
Hecuba - tannish olive with burgundy rib - size 12-8
Sulpher Dun - yellow - size 12-14
Plenty of these bugs on the Blackfoot, Clark Fork, and Bitterroot lately but I was up the Middle Fork a week ago and found several hecubas and Mohos up there too.
