caddis larva

Recommended Posts

The first one is called a little orange caddis or a Needle Fly (Leuctra grandis)

 

The under water shots are the flies in a small collection bottle (empty cement and thinner bottles) I got about 250 from a guy where he worked...

sandflyx-

 

Nice pictures. Fun, isn't it. Your little orange caddis is definitely not Leuctra grandis, which is a stonefly. I suspect it may be Dolophilodes distinctus, which is in the family of fingernet caddis, but I could certainly be mistaken. You might want to look at the photos of Dolophilodes distinctus on Jason Neuswanger's www.troutnut.com website, and see if you agree with me.

and the caddis...(Chimararrha augustipennis)  found in Schwiebert"s book Nymphs

sandflyx-

 

Your download seems to be empty (0 bytes), so I'm unable to see it.

 

Nymphs is a great book, but its taxonomy is dated. For updated taxonomy, check out this page on my website: Updated Taxonomy for Nymphs by Schwiebert

Would love to talk Ernie some time, as he's one of my heroes.

Or perhaps investigate: CADDISFLIES a guide to Eastern Spiecies by Thomas Ames Jr.

Is there a video of how to tie this fly? The tying instructions are (for me) a bit confusing. But maybe that's because I'm 70.
