Onocosmoecus (Great Late-Summer Sedge) Caddisfly Larva Onocosmoecus (Great Late-Summer Sedge) Caddisfly Larva

Lateral view of a Onocosmoecus (Limnephilidae) (Great Late-Summer Sedge) Caddisfly Larva from the Yakima River in Washington

This specimen keys pretty easily to Onocosmoecus, and it closely resembles a specimen from Alaska which caddis expert Dave Ruiter recognized as this genus. As with that specimen, the only species in the genus documented in this area is Onocosmoecus unicolor, but Dave suggested for that specimen that there might be multiple not-yet-distinguished species under the unicolor umbrella and it would be best to stick with the genus-level ID. I'm doing the same for this one.

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.

I have a lake-house in Andover NH and there are trout in the lake but i have always loved stream fishing. I was wondering if anybody had suggestions where to fish and using what types of flies? Any little bit of information for any part of New Hampshire because i don't mind driving for fish.

I don't know where Andover is in relation to Conway and Gorham but you could try the Swift river which flows west to east and joins the Saco near Conway. Then there is the Ellis River near Jackson, the Peabody River near Mt. Washington, and the Androscoggin River which starts up in Errol and flows south through Milan, Berlin, and Gorham before it hooks back into Maine.

Dude, check out the Connecticut river in Pittsburgh NH. The "Trophy Stretch" is particularly attractive from late April (beware of deep water) to october.
