John W Kelly Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I went to Taneycomo yesterday during the drawdown and came across a puddle that contained some emerging midges. One of them was struggling to get through the slime layer, so I moved the slime and grabbed the camera . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilletHead Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Neat and thanks for posting. Was that real time or did you speed up the video?

Nick Williams Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 That is cool. How big was it? Hard to find something to compare it to. - Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John W Kelly Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 That is cool. How big was it? Hard to find something to compare it to. Thanks x2! The pupa is 8mm long (measured), so the fly itself should be around 8mm. The bloodworm (pre-pupa stage, lower photo) is 10mm. There were a lot of those too.

Nick Williams Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Sweet, unfortunately I have no idea how that translates to hook size.... I gotta say though, impressing pictures! Macro lens? - Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John W Kelly Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks Nick! For the pupa, it would be a size 16 scud/pupa hook (or 18 dry fly). For the largest bloodworm, it would be size 14 scud/pupa hook (or 16 dry fly). There were some smaller bloodworms, so an 18 or even a 20 could be used if you wanted. I used the macro setting on an 8mp cannon powershot A720 camera. It's about 5 years old. It's my fishing camera.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BredMan Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I have no clue about cameras other than the quick and easy shooters. Those are great pics and the video was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John W Kelly Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thank you! The pics were taken with the cannon, which is pretty much just a point and shoot compact camera. The video was taken with my cell phone which is an 8mp Motorola Droid Razr Max HD (long name...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
