Isonychia bicolor, one of the few mayflies with two broods: one in June, the other from August into mid-October. A slate body with a pale rib — this is the bug that carries the back end of the season when everything else is done.

Tyer's tip

Fish it against the big rocks rather than mid-current — that is where the nymph leaves the water.
