Images from the Water

Here is this week’s images from the water. Fewer days on the water results in fewer images. I’m still enjoying these posts as a means to share my work. I hope you enjoy this week’s portfolio.

This October Caddis was walking around on a bush next to me and stopped long enough to capture a couple images. I like how he’s looking directly at the camera!

We’re still seeing Mayflies, but no fish rising. Looks like I’ll need to pull out my nymphs!

Notice the green eyes.

And with wings flat on water as it was fluttering the wings.

I’d guess this Mayfly is a Cinygmula.

The only fish I’ve seen up close. Someone’s been snacking on it.
