Notes: Litle Blue Winged Olive may have two to three broods on some streams; Grannon (Brachycentrus sp) refers to many different species all called the Grannom.  S# refers to a sporadic emergence.  Light Cahill (Stenacron sp) inludes the species canadense. Slate Drake (Isonychia sp.) inlcudes many species. The Trico (Trycorythodes sp.) includes atratus, stygiatus, and minutus.  All emergence times are approximate and depend on local conditions. Size is also variable.
