Looks a bit like a copper john variant.
Has anyone seen one of these on local streams? I can't exactly recall, but I am sure I have seen then about.
Pretty cool pattern, a very subtle difference.

Have seen similar nymphs in the Vaal, they quite bigger than the majority of the mayflies

with a small tweak, meneer de jager's one pattern would resemble this well and he's caught loads of yellows on it!

I have seen plenty of these on the smalblaar. Heptagenids are the clingers - not so good at swimming but very good at crawling around and holding onto rocks in fast current (you can see this from the size of their legs).
Oliver Edwards has a very nice immitation of this but any nymph pattern tied with a triangular shaped throax should immitate these quite nicely.
