Dorsal view of a Limnephilidae (Giant Sedges) Caddisfly Larva from the Yakima River in Washington

This specimen resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.

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 recently bought a Canon SLDR and two zoom lenses. I'm going to be making a lot trout river/fishing photos. Naturally, I'm afraid of dropping the outfit in the water. Any suggestions for waterproof bags for cameras? And what might be a good macro lens for a Canon EOS at a low price? Thanks.

See this other thread... http://www.troutnut.com/topic/2224#15529

As for as water proofing, I keep my camera around my neck and I don't go wading with my Canon XTi.
