Summer time brings out all the cool critters.

I was at East Canyon resevoir tonight. Summer also brings out the weirdos too. Be careful out there.

Too bad the pic of the rock didn't turn out better. It had hydroptilidae (micro-caddis) and Helicopyschide (snail case caddis). That was a great score !

The head on the sculpin kinda reminds me of somebody. I just can't place it tho................................ ;o)

[ezlehappy]

I've never seen one before, outside of a picture. It'd be interesting to see one. Since you have a green drake nymph, I'm assuming that you were on the middle provo. Am I right?

[fishonhomie]

EZ I can think of many rivers in utah that have a green dr..... oops nevermind yup musta been the middle. BTW Jason did you see any adults poppin yet? should be any day if not. later, Holmes

[steelie]

adults poppin yet?

had some issues with the focus, but here is some bug porn for you.

Check out the size of the sculpin, it probably died of old age.

EZ, I'd be willing to bet you've been inches away from thousands of them at one point or another. When your rollin over rocks to look at bugs - keep an eye out on the bottom where the rock was, they will usually just lay there, motionless. Until you try and gig them with a fork that is, they are super quick and agile when they want to be. They are in pretty much every cold water stream around, best place to look is probably ankle to knee deep water with good sized rocks in it. Kind of like what is in the picture.

Nice pics. Love those Sculpins, trout like them too but I don't care to tie them.

When I was about 8 years old I caught a sculpin with a worm and it sure did put up a fight, especially for the size of it. I had no idea what it was and it kindof freaked us out as kids.

By the way Steelie, your daughter did great at the casting competition.
