All those little flashing lights are individual chironomids. Look closely and you can see the trout picking them off one at a time. Fishing was very good… 🏮👇

Countershaded Dragons
- Countershading is a common form of camouflage where an animal has a darker back (dorsal side) and a lighter belly (ventral side). This pattern counteracts the shadows cast by natural overhead sunlight, making the animal appear flatter and blend into its background, reducing its 3D appearance to predators and prey.
- Twisting a couple of these up next Wednesday, March 25th at the Stillwater Fly Tying Jam hosted by @pacificangler This is going to be a great “free” community event, so click the link in my bio and join us! 🧵🍻
