A bug tank does sound like fun.


I bought a little tank and am taking it to Montahoming with me.

You're not coming to Idaho?

I have
grave doubts about keeping things alive in a travel trailer situation, but
I'll catch some buggies and try.

Without refrigeration you're going to have bug soup.

Nothing has improved my fly fishing as much as tying, and nothing has
improved the fishing success of my tying as studying the bugs, and nothing
has improved the value of that study as much as catching the real things,
books and even good photos have very real limitations in this area.

Scooping up nymphs is fun. I'm struck by how little the artificial
resemble the naturals. 99% of the mayfly nymphs I find look kind of like
Pheasant Tails and Hare's Ears, but even those patterns aren't all that
close. It's amazing that fish are so gullible and, I suppose, lucky for us.
