Ventral view of a Hydropsyche (Hydropsychidae) (Spotted Sedge) Caddisfly Larva from the Yakima River in Washington

With a bit of help from the microscope, this specimen keys clearly and unsurprisingly to Hydropsyche.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

So a few weeks back my point and shoot managed to suffer a flood.
Now i have been using throw aways for the time being,
Sunday evening i went fishing had a decent time, but thought i managed to lose the disposable camera somewher stream side.
i returned the next morning to find nothing, and then i racked my brains over where it could have been. After some sulkng and on a whim i decided to put some batteries in the point and shoot, and it turned on! So today i get my waders to go fishing and i found the disposable in the foot of the waders!
Man i hate the quality of those things and i am very glad to have my digi back working "kinda"!

anyways here are some photo's of these 2 days .

this was taken in daylight, why its so dark i don't know?

this was taken in the night

digi resurrected

lessons learned:
1)electronics can recover somewhat if ignored in a dry place and fed a new battery.
2)if you lose something, buy another one--it will go find the first one for you.
thanks, Jasen!
p.s. nice fish--yep, gotta get out soon.
