Angler's Entomology Podcast

Hey folks - yep - worms. Surprisingly interesting and entertaining even if the patterns are pretty mundane. That said, don't forget to check out the blog to see the patterns I've posted.

Today we'll talk about cicadas and leafhoppers - plus we'll have a bonus interview with Charles Card - a guide on Utah's Green River - talking about the fun cicada "hatch" on that river. To learn more about Charles and book him for a trip, you can reach him at Spinnerfall Guide Service: www.spinnerfall.com

An episode all about the Zebra Caddis - aka the Alderfly. Of course with historical diversions along the way.

How insects breathe underwater ... and more importantly, how we can imitate that. Which I have to admit, I got a little carried away with. This is probably my geekiest episode. So if you want to get to the fly fishing part - jump to about minute 30.

Everything you could have possibly wanted to know about crayfish. Maybe. As well as the mysterious story around Selene's Sure Bet.

For the purposes of this podcast, the critters I'm talking about are the tiger striped nymphs that fall in the stonefly families Perlidae and Perlodidae. Enjoy!

Aka Green Caddis, Green Sedges or Rhyacophilidae. A common, easily identified caddis - at least in it's larval stage, that has wonderful behavior that makes it fun and effective to fish. We'll talk about the critter - but also a lot about the flies and the history of the flies that imitate them.

Welcome to Episode 37 - where we'll be talking about those things that are large enough to see, but to small to really see what they are. things like water mites, daphnia, copepods and ostracods. They may not be too important for actual fly fishing, but they are super important in terms of the food chain. So - sit back, enjoy, and I hope you learn something new!

True bugs? What is a false bug? Well, true bugs is the term used by entomologists to refer to the guys that are in suborder Heteroptera. You may know them as the backswimmers, water boatmen, water bugs, and water striders. Join me as we talk about their cool behavior and habits. And check out the blog for some pics and patterns.

Hi folks,

Sorry for the delay in getting this out - but here is an episode all about crane flies. Pretty cool stuff once you take a moment to actually spend some time looking at them. Enjoy!
