The mayfly and stonefly fauna of Glacier National Park, Montana has been studied little to date. Lehmkuhl (1966) was one of the first to study the benthos fauna of the park and studied a string of three mountain lakes located in Many Glacier. Due to the amount of time which has passed, changes that have occurred in taxonomy, and possible changes in lake conditions due to the receding of Grinnell Glacier, the need was apparent to resample Lehmkuhl’s study lakes of Swiftcurrent Lake, Lake Josephine, and Grinnell Lake. In addition, lake outlets have been studied a little and have some very unique qualities which will be looked at in this study. Streams in the study area were also sampled. Lake inlets have also been studied very little and were studied as well.
