Neat and thanks for posting. Was that real time or did you speed up the video?

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.

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...:).
