I would see them every year out at our camp near Killian when I was younger.

Hanging out with some friends at a bar after work years ago.... we were hanging out on the deck and mayflies are flying around every where..... a fatty was paying way too much attention to me and I caught a mayfly in flight and popped it in my mouth and ate it.... she left.

Mayflies swarm near water this time of year. They ruined several night fishing activities when i was much younger. One night they started when were several miles down a bayou. By the time we reached the ramp, they were almost a foot deep in our boat

The eastern can be black as well. Eastern cannot fly and is slightly larger.

They smell like shite too. We always tried fishing with them when they were around. No fish ever, ever bit one. Ever! Lol
