Large Caddisfly ???

Large Caddisfly ???
Moccasin Lake, Winston, Douglas County, Georgia, USA
September 9, 2008
Size: about 25 mm
Is this some sort of large Caddisfly? We live right on a lake and I also have a clear rushing water stream in my fron yard. Caddisflies are very common here, but this is the first one of these I have see. Any help with ID would be appreciated.

Second thoughts
Jerry, I think I'd like you to bump this one back to genus. Although the size estimate is right for Phryganea, I can't escape the nagging feeling that this might be Agrypnia vestita (which is listed for GA).

Consider it done.

Sorry, Jerry
I should have said bump it to family (obviously, Agrypnia is not the same genus), but my thinking and typing were on different tracks! :)

Yes, a caddisfly
This appears to be Phryganea. P. sayi is the only Phryganea species that I see included in the collecting records of Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennesee.
