Stones and Streamers.

I spent a lot of time on the river yesterday turning rocks and looking at bugs. I found some golden stones, sowbugs and mayfly nymphs which your #16hares ear would have duplicated perfectly. The sow bugs that i found were surprisingly large. Some reaching lengths of up to an inch. Size 10 sow bugs are going to be in the works at the bench. I got some great macro shots of the stoneflies as well. Oh yeah, I also caught a few fish. I landed three in the 20 inch range, but the big one followed script, and got away. I felt the tug, set the hook, and he turned and spit the streamer straight at me. Ive got his address, i will visit him again.... Bottom 2 photos by Matt Guymon...
