Caddis Entomology

For me the difficult part about Caddisflies as they relate to trout is determining what is going on. Seems kind of “duh” but it breaks down something like this. On stream, splashy rise, see a few adult caddis fluttering around, maybe catch one match the size/shape/color as best I can …

Naturals Page Updated:

I’ve got a long list of things that need my attention and from the beginning this blog/journal/whatever you call it was supposed to be a semi-organized/semi-scientific approach to the Southeast Minnesota/Driftless Area.  I have organized some of the better [singlepic id=482 w=280 h=200 float=right]photo’s of the natural insects seen on …

Know Your Bait: The Midge

It seems that for the time being I have lost my Caddisfly book by Gary LaFontaine and will have to suspend my Entomology research with regards to the Caddisflies in my area until I can either find it or find a replacement. With that in mind I felt it important …

Caddis Fly Entomology Pt. 2

I have effectively found information on all of the species of Caddisfly that the hatch chart from Lanesboro, MN describes. Now the question is how to present the information in a logical fashion, with the Mayflies I broke things down first by one of the four nymphal groups and then from earliest to …

The Hunt for Macro's continues…

Left work the other day with an hour of light. The air temp on my way to the stream was 29 degrees but I was layered well and ready for a short romp in the water. There is something very calming and peaceful about being on the water at dusk. …

Bugs in the Water

                 Finished work today and took another quick run to a stream almost in town. I did essentially the same routine as yesterday but yesterday being my first time taking samples today I found it easier to find what I was looking for.    Things …

Field Research (The Beginning)

After work I dawned a set of hip-waders and a rain coat, no rod, no reel, and no fly box just a backpack, camera, and items for research. I drove to a stream that I spent much of my summer on. I figured this would be a good place to …
