Angler's Entomology Podcast

We all look at spider webs to see what has hatched - but this dives into the critters who actually make the web. There will also be a few stories about my troubled relationships with these creepy crawlies.

Here you have it! An episode about March Browns - for April. Check out the blog for some pics and patterns - and enjoy the episode!

Yep - an episode about Drift - that phenomenon where insects drift in the current and that we intentionally and unintentionally imitate. There is a surprising amount of why/when/how that is out there. Plus plenty that we don't know. I hope you enjoy.

Yes, this is the "amphi-podcast". Amphipods are a super important trout food - often being found year round - but they are also interesting in their diversity. We'll even talk about mind control in this episode!

Hi Folks - all about Winter - we are in the depths of it, so why not learn something about it! In particular, how the critters fish eat survive it. No blog post, but here are two links: Here is one for the Western Maine Fly Fishing Expo: https://www.bethelmaine.com/events/details/western-maine-fly-fishing-expo-8018; And here is a link to that article I pointed out in the podcast - about dragonfly migration: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsbl.2018.0741 Hope you enjoy.

Happy New Year! All about beetles - terrestrial and aquatic ones. Lots of patterns on the blog this episode, so check it out at http://anglersentomology.libsyn.com/

Today we are talking about whiteflies - Ephoron leukon and album, altho we'll talk about the genus overall which is worldwide in distribution. Of course we'll also digress, talking about sex without sex and other fun stuff. When your done be sure and check out the new Facebook "Anglers Entomology Podcast" page

Hi folks - here is an episode all about Isonychia bicolor - which goes by a dozen or so other names. Besides the confusing naming situation, we'll talk about it's bizarre habits, imitations and it's dubious connection to the Leadwing Coachman fly.

Here you go folks, finally, an episode about teeny weeny flies. I hope you find the diversity interesting - well, because it is. And I've, as usual, added some pics to the blog - so you can see what I'm talking about - both of midges and of some of my favorite flies: http://anglersentomology.libsyn.com/

Bloodsucking little *$#^&*. We'll talk about their medical importance, how they relate to fly fishing, and perhaps, most importantly, about repellents and how to chose them!
