I had been here in 1995 or so and had collected a bunch of Scaptomyza. My goal for today was to see if they were still there and to try and collect some ephydrids as well. There was a surprising amount of water in the canyon and we ended up at a small dam that was packed with moss, algae and aquatic plants. The Scaptomyza were still there, as were some leaf mines. I got a good mixture of different flies including Scaptomyza, ephydrids, bibionids, tipulids and syrphids.
