It looks like some type of crane fly; Diptera, I believe. IIRC, that bunch is mostly midges and 'skeeters. I do tye some midge patterns, but it seems like the small blue winged olive patterns work just as well out here on the tailwaters [(pseudocoelon instead of baetis) apologies for my spelling!].
Bryan...although midges work well in winter on the Blue...

I heard the James is a great smallmouth fishery: I used to spin some deerhair bugs for largemouth bass at my F.I.L.'s place in Alabama...what a pain!

My neighbour taught me to tie flies when i was little, she was a real expert, what was different was we did it without a vice, it was great skill she had, wish i'd stuck at it. Still we all know better then we're young don't we!!
