Eastern Pale Evening Dun
Nymphs:
The nymphs of the invaria species of the Ephemerella genus are crawler
nymphs that prefer riffles and runs with moderate currents. You may also find
them in pockets or the heads and edges of pools. They will move to calmer,
shallower water a few days prior to emerging.
You will not find these mayflies just about everywhere you fish in the Eastern and
Mid-western trout streams. The fast water runs and riffles typical of many trout
streams are just to swift for the crawler nymphs. Areas of streams with moderate
declines rather than steep declines will have far more Eastern Pale Evening
Duns. Moderately flowing water provides a better habitat for the crawlers.
Nymph Presentation:
Weighted imitations of the nymph should be presented in a dead drift manner in
the riffles, runs and pockets that are flowing moderately, not fast. An upstream
or up and across cast usually works best. You can also use the "high stickin"
method of nymphing.
The best time to fish the nymph is just prior to a hatch. The nymphs become
careless and are only concerned with emerging into a dun.
