Dan and I dug out the fly rods and waded into the Contoocook River in Henniker today for the first time this year. Normally the river is full of ice March 4th and wading into it would be impossable. Thats why we went today, because we could. No fish today, but it was good to get into the water rather than be standing on it! Every exposed rock was covered with snow and also these stoneflys. I'm always fascinated with what is going on in and around the river. The last thing I expected to see was a bug hatch. They look like I positioned them for a photo op but thats the way I found them...I love that Lumix camera. I'm working to identify them now.
