This little brookie is my dad's first trout on a fly. It came on opening day of the 2004 early season for trout in Wisconsin.

Two Phryganeidae caddis larvae fighting over a case

Starring: Phryganeidae Caddisfly Larva

Caddisfly larvae of this family can easily leave and re-enters their cases. I caught two of them playing musical chairs or something with this one... funny!

I had excellent luck sampling burrowing mayfly nymphs here in the headwaters of a trouty small stream.

I had to really search for a while to find a sliver of opening water at this sampling site far in the headwaters of a mighty warmwater river.

Underwater photos by Troutnut from Mystery Creek #19 in Wisconsin

From the Mystery Creek # 19 in Wisconsin.

There's a pretty nice brookie on the left here, probably 14 inches long. From the Mystery Creek # 19 in Wisconsin.

Hundreds of creek chubs and common shiners approach. From the Mystery Creek # 19 in Wisconsin.

There's a large school of minnows in the far distance here in the clear water of a spring head. From the Mystery Creek # 19 in Wisconsin.

Hundreds of creek chubs and common shiners take the long path around me through the barren shallows of a silty backwater area. It looks sort of like a Mars landscape, doesn't it? From the Mystery Creek # 19 in Wisconsin.

Underwater photos by Troutnut from the South Fork of the White River in Wisconsin

Several caddis larvae cling in the current amongst the debris collected on an underwater alder branch. In this picture: Insect Order Trichoptera (Caddisflies). From the South Fork of the White River in Wisconsin.

Here's the underside of a "lunker structure", a manmade undercut bank where trout love to hang out. It's amazing how much I've seen the trout use these things. I've also noticed that the best trout populations I've seen are in streams where lunker structures have been installed. From the South Fork of the White River in Wisconsin.

Several caddisfly larvae in their cases cling to the debris in this picture. In this picture: Insect Order Trichoptera (Caddisflies). From the South Fork of the White River in Wisconsin.

The caddis larvae in this picture built their cases from tiny pebbles. In this picture: Insect Order Trichoptera (Caddisflies). From the South Fork of the White River in Wisconsin.

A few caddis larvae cling to this partially submerged clump of streamside grass. In this picture: Insect Order Trichoptera (Caddisflies). From the South Fork of the White River in Wisconsin.

This underwater log hosts hundreds of caddisfly larvae, some in cases and some in spiderweb-like lairs. In this picture: Insect Order Trichoptera (Caddisflies). From the South Fork of the White River in Wisconsin.

Jargon Defined:

Larvae: Many classes of aquatic insects, such as caddisflies, midges, craneflies, dobsonflies, alderflies, and many more, are known as "larvae" rather than "nymphs" in their juvenile stages. They have mostly soft bodies rather than hard exoskeletons. These insects also advance through a "pupa" stage before reaching adulthood.

Nymphs: The juvenile, underwater stages of mayflies, stoneflies, dragonflies, and damselflies and other aquatic insects whose juvenile stages are covered by hard exoskeletons. The word can also refer to the fishing flies which imitate these creatures, in which case it is used as a blanket term for flies imitating any underwater stage of an invertebrate (except for crayfish and leeches).
