Fly Fishing and Trout Prey Videos



One of the most important things to a choosy trout is the one thing my close-up pictures can't show: motion. Fly tyers imitate motion by using lively materials, and fly anglers imitate it with subtle rod-work, but both need to understand how the real critters move.

Most of these were shot long ago with an ancient digital camera, but I'll be adding higher-quality material this year.

Damselfly Nymph on the Prowl
Damselfly nymphs are among the most effective invertebrate predators in freshwater. You have to see one in motion to get a feel for their slow, deliberate style of stalking.
