Underwater photos from the Namekagon River
A school of large common shiners feeds in a frenzy on
Tricorythodes mayfly spinners which were all over the surface on this July morning.
There are a couple
Epeorus mayfly nymphs clinging to this rock. One interesting thing I've noticed is that even though the stream has a lot of clingers, they rarely show up in my photos, and I've started paying more attention to the river bottom while I'm fishing I've noticed that clinger nymphs generally see or feel me coming and scurry to the undersides of their rocks before I can get in picture range. I think I have the same problem with stoneflies.
In this picture: Mayfly Genus Epeorus (Little Maryatts).
