Underwater Pictures from Trout Streams, Page 24

Despite the late date in the season, several caddisfly larvae remain on the rocks in this river.

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.

I'm not quite sure what this is. It may be an Isonychia nymph hiding under a piece of grass.

I got a nice picture of the pool these salamander larvae inhabit a few weeks later.
