The hatch!! Your photo's of bugs

jimmy · Mar 31, 2011

I looked at the "photog" section and was very impressed with all I saw. . . I would like to see some of your photo's of hatches in progress!!! I know it's a tuff deal to snap a good picture of little insects in their Environment . . . but I think everyone would like to see em if you got em. . .

I'll start out with the easy one. . .

Salmonflies

nymph stage:

adult:

both together:

Cool idea I will try to get some pics this weekend.

great thread idea. Here is a hatch that happened one evening while catfishing......millions upon millions, they were landing by the river and dieing, it was crazy.. they were all over the ground, this bench that is by the river really shows the masses...

Here's some I have handy. I'll try and get some more up soon.

Awesome NWKILLER & YOHAN!!!

that's what I'm talking about, that 'mass bug matt' is impressive. . .
and I think 'cork' is a perfect background for the bugs.

How about water? here's some beatis. . .
(photos look like browns, this was in feb. 25 in the am)

DON'T DROOL ON YOURSELF. . . . .

Fantastic!!

photos only, please!!!
no room for banter. take a picture and post it!

If I can throw a request. . . .
if you have the abilty. . .throw a dime in your pic for reference. . .
or a match or whatever, size reference is very important to those of
us who are trying to match the size and shape of our subjects when
we try and imitate them on our canvas er. . .( hook )

more salmon's:

(one stone with the salmonflys--- as per norm)

the aftermath:

breaking the shell and emerging as an adult

hee hee

I'm sayin your price for posting is a picture of a bug!!!

I know you got em. . .

any fly fishing bug/critter/photo is a must!!!
( not really, I just want to see em !! )

salmonfly on a standard thread spool. . . .

ever takin' a girl fishin' during the salmonfly hatch?

Angie put on her hood and called it good. . .

tuff to see, but the blurrs against the water are flying stones. . . look close..

brandon4455 · Apr 5, 2011

okay.. if you call that banter that's nice. just curious to why you only said that to my post only and not markcanby? im not the only one who posted without a pic. just a thought.. makes me feel like im getting picked on.

jimmy · Apr 5, 2011

nah... didn't mean it that way, I'd just like to see photo's, that's all. Any comment is welcome, and thank you all for the kind ones... I'd like to see us all share our experiences with hatches via the camera. . . rather than a discussion about the photos. . . yeah??

brandon4455 · Apr 5, 2011

yes sir, ill be back in a few with some stoneflies if the cam will work. creek is right aroudn the block :lol: nvm..need batteries.. have to wait until tomorrow -.-

jimmy · Apr 5, 2011
