Something interesting I saw today

[Artin]

This morning I stepped out of my office to get something from the car and noticed again... yes they were mayflies... Now the funny thing is that my office is near the LA river. This has happened once before. I didn't see them up close this time, they were swarming but not in the same numbers as before. Maybe they were more of them earlier and I caught the tail end of it.
Also saw a hummingbird eating them. I thought it was pretty cool.

The last time I saw them they were just hangin' out on my car. Probably attracted by the heat from the engine. There were both male and female trico's. Let's fish the hatch

Just thought this was interesting.

I've seen mayflies in riverside too, also at work... we're right near the Santa Ana, and it was neat to see...

Pretty cool!


For some reason I did not think that May flies existed in LA

Ya, they're a rare breed. They live on concrete, asphalt and breath smog . I know, I know...I'm just another smart butt from the central coast .

LoVELy!!Im glad I bumped into this thread I live near the S.G river I get a crazy hatch every now and then.I.D.K a old timer told me that the bottom stretch of river adjacent to our home was left untouched my Army Corps of engineers when it was built back in the 30's.So it is natural run off and sediment down there with the dead bodies and carp some where?

Hey I bumped into this article....

Pretty sad... The fact that there has to be so much talk about what to do and how to go about doing it is a given. But while they were deciding, bickering or what ever they do...all it would have taken is to send 2 guys with a net and a couple of buckets to get the "endangered species" out and placed into another portion of the stream with more water. Could be the same stream lower downstream. I don't know.

Any thoughts?
