Glossosoma (Little Brown Short-horned Sedge) Caddisfly Larva Glossosoma (Little Brown Short-horned Sedge) Caddisfly Larva

Dorsal view of a Glossosoma (Glossosomatidae) (Little Brown Short-horned Sedge) Caddisfly Larva from the Yakima River in Washington

I caught this tiny larva without a case, but it seems to key pretty clearly to to Glossosomatidae. From there, the lack of sclerites on the mesonotum points to either Glossosoma or Anagapetus. Although it's difficult to see in a 2D image from the microscope, it's pretty clear in the live 3D view that the pronotum is only excised about 1/3 of its length to accommodate the forecoxa, not 2/3, which points to Glossosoma at Couplet 5 of the Key to Genera of Glossosomatidae Larvae.

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.

Fixed. It's just a youtube video so it's safe, Matt. Possible spam as it has little fishing and no fly fishing in it. Interesting to see a river in Siberia, though.

I actually enjoyed the video. It was interesting to see how they traveled, fished, and what they considered important. Beautiful water. And I liked Vladimir's music.

Well I viewed it and know that I don't ever want to fish there. Looks like it should have a lot bigger fish than grayling that were barely 15" long.

Sorry for the Google translation:)

Grayling different. He breed white to 300 grams weight and the gray is much larger. But our goal was not a fish. We had a rest from the city.
Music will be ready soon and I will show the video which was shot Alexander. He catches a fly fishing Lenka the border with Mongolia. I'm glad you liked my music, thank you!

Welcome to the forum Vladimir!

I want to second Louis on the music. Also, I'm very glad to see you personally posted. Looking forward to more!

BTW - the problem was you posted your personal Youtube account file instead of the video file. Also, If you bracket "link" and "/link" (not including parenthesis) around your video file when you post it will show up as blue and be linked. That way, the visitors won't have to copy and leave the forum to view it (see my edit of your post above).
