Angler's Entomology Podcast
Explore the wonderful world of the critters fish eat. Both insects and others, we learn how they live and survive and pick up fly fishing tips in the process.
Episodes
Bibios, Heather Flies, Hawthorn Flies, Blossom Flies, Love Bugs - you name it. An interesting critter that .. for some reason seems more popular in Europe rather than the US. Whazzup with that?
Hey all - all about Quill Gordons and Theodore Gordon. Hope you enjoy it!
Hey Folks, I'm back! And here with an episode mostly about moths. Yep. Moths as they relate to fly fishing. Check it out, I think you will be surprised.
Hi folks! Sorry for the delay, but we're back in the saddle with an episode about Blue Winged Olives ... which are kind of complicated and confusing - but I make it 100% clear. I think. I hope.
Hey folks - yep - worms. Surprisingly interesting and entertaining even if the patterns are pretty mundane. That said, don't forget to check out the blog to see the patterns I've posted.
Today we'll talk about cicadas and leafhoppers - plus we'll have a bonus interview with Charles Card - a guide on Utah's Green River - talking about the fun cicada "hatch" on that river. To learn more about Charles and book him for a trip, you can reach him at Spinnerfall Guide Service: www.spinnerfall.com
An episode all about the Zebra Caddis - aka the Alderfly. Of course with historical diversions along the way.
How insects breathe underwater ... and more importantly, how we can imitate that. Which I have to admit, I got a little carried away with. This is probably my geekiest episode. So if you want to get to the fly fishing part - jump to about minute 30.
Everything you could have possibly wanted to know about crayfish. Maybe. As well as the mysterious story around Selene's Sure Bet.
For the purposes of this podcast, the critters I'm talking about are the tiger striped nymphs that fall in the stonefly families Perlidae and Perlodidae. Enjoy!
Aka Green Caddis, Green Sedges or Rhyacophilidae. A common, easily identified caddis - at least in it's larval stage, that has wonderful behavior that makes it fun and effective to fish. We'll talk about the critter - but also a lot about the flies and the history of the flies that imitate them.
Welcome to Episode 37 - where we'll be talking about those things that are large enough to see, but to small to really see what they are. things like water mites, daphnia, copepods and ostracods. They may not be too important for actual fly fishing, but they are super important in terms of the food chain. So - sit back, enjoy, and I hope you learn something new!
True bugs? What is a false bug? Well, true bugs is the term used by entomologists to refer to the guys that are in suborder Heteroptera. You may know them as the backswimmers, water boatmen, water bugs, and water striders. Join me as we talk about their cool behavior and habits. And check out the blog for some pics and patterns.
Hi folks,
Sorry for the delay in getting this out - but here is an episode all about crane flies. Pretty cool stuff once you take a moment to actually spend some time looking at them. Enjoy!
We all look at spider webs to see what has hatched - but this dives into the critters who actually make the web. There will also be a few stories about my troubled relationships with these creepy crawlies.
Here you have it! An episode about March Browns - for April. Check out the blog for some pics and patterns - and enjoy the episode!
Yep - an episode about Drift - that phenomenon where insects drift in the current and that we intentionally and unintentionally imitate. There is a surprising amount of why/when/how that is out there. Plus plenty that we don't know. I hope you enjoy.
Yes, this is the "amphi-podcast". Amphipods are a super important trout food - often being found year round - but they are also interesting in their diversity. We'll even talk about mind control in this episode!
Hi Folks - all about Winter - we are in the depths of it, so why not learn something about it! In particular, how the critters fish eat survive it. No blog post, but here are two links: Here is one for the Western Maine Fly Fishing Expo: https://www.bethelmaine.com/events/details/western-maine-fly-fishing-expo-8018; And here is a link to that article I pointed out in the podcast - about dragonfly migration: https://royalsociety...
Happy New Year! All about beetles - terrestrial and aquatic ones. Lots of patterns on the blog this episode, so check it out at http://anglersentomology.libsyn.com/
