Tricos are now pretty much on each morning at Silver Creek...

Silver Creek Tricos
Tricos have been happening in small numbers on the lower stretches of Silver Creek... Here are a few images of female Tricos.

Trico Dun
First, here's an image of a female Trico dun taking a morning downstream ride on the Big Lost River.
I recently had the opportunity to photograph a family on Silver Creek the other night and here is a favorite from that shoot:
Silver Creek Callibaetis
I pulled off of Silver Creek a couple of nights ago around 10 pm and there were a ton of Tricos and Callibaetis in the grass and when I stopped near the Creek they were attracted to my car headlights. The two images below were taken well after dark of callibaetis on or near my headlights.
Camera: Nikon D3s
Lens: Nikon Micro ƒ2.8 105 mm
More Trico Shots
Here are a few more trico shots. I'll be on Silver Creek tomorrow and will hopefully have a few more.
Summer Heat And More Tricos
Here are a few more trico images taken at Silver Creek. The weather has been hot and, well, it feels like the middle of the summer. Hatches are starting to wane on the Big Wood and tricos at the Creek are picking up. The flows on the Lost are around 524 cfs and have been fluctuating a little.
And, a line to remember when trying to present a delicate cast: "His leader and then fly turned over and began to come down as though it were a butterfly landing with sore feet." --Bob Anderson
