    Slightly off subject regarding sea-trout, however, hopefully the following close-up shots will be of interest:

    Is this entomological porn, I think we should be told.

      Good point tone-s! I should have included some form of censorship disclaimer! :>

        Cracking pics though.

        One of the lads at work saw me looking at them, quite understandably he pointed out that I was the saddest twat he'd ever met.

        He's a Chelsea fan though, and has never fished.

            I would say from top to bottom:

            Stone fly.
            Coch-y-bon-ddu.
            LDO (spinner)
            March brown.
            Caddis lava.
            Dragonfly nymph.
            Damsel nymphs.
            More dragonfly nymphs.

            Amazing photos and creatures.

              Is it a quiz? Can we all try?

              First three - Perla bipunctata Large Stonefly.

              Number four - Coch-y-Bonddu

              Next three - Baetis rhodani LDO Imago

              Next two - Ecdyonorous torrentis Large Brook Dun Imago/Spinner form.

              Number ten - a Caddis, a wild guess would be Athripsodes although Silverhorn are quite small; pity there's no size indication.

              Number eleven is a Dragonfly nymph, as is fourteen and fifteen.

              Twelve an thirteen are slimmer Damsel nymphs; all of the order Odonata



              Rio's list is very close to mine; he may well be right as Ecdyonorous venosus or Late March Brown is a close relative. However the touch of yellow in the wing leading edge makes me think it is the 2mm larger Large Brook Dun.


              TT - when do we get the answers?

                If I'm honest guys, I'm not that educted on the entomology front either. As such, your naming will be more accurate than mine!

                    Fly Immitations

                    I've had some good rainbow trout on imitations of the following...

                    How many of you have had success on a bumble bee pattern? - fished top-water.

                      Hi Trout,

                      no, never, to be honest. Were they actively feeding on them in the first place?

                      TT.

                        No - just a fly pattern I have had success with - especially with over wintered rainbow trout.

                          Mask Wasp

                          There's a deadly fly to use on Lough Mask in June called the 'Mask Wasp'; I think Rod Tye sells them, lots of Picric dyed materials in the dressing, which I can't quite recall.

                          I'd never thought of trying a bumble bee pattern; but logic suggests this terrestial is blown onto water at times.
                          I'll tie a couple up to use as NZ style 'indicators'.
