Sweet! I'll do the search tonight. Thank you! 

I remember mayflies hatching and falling in the water from the weeping willow in grandpas back yard on Ross Barnett resevoir in Jackson, MS... I was about 6 or 7, and I had a cane pole with a popper. I caught HUNDREDS! Great memory... thanks for reminding me of that.

It's a great catch, that's for sure.  Did you weigh or measure any of them?
