Daphnia


Look closely at the two water pictures and you can see the daphnia. After ice off, often you can find the trout feeding on daphnia. Daphnia is a tiny aquatic creature you can find in lakes.  Today Karen and I encountered a rather large ball of daphnia in a lake. We put our Tokaryk Special into the ball of daphnia and the action was quite steady. The rainbows were slashing through through the daphnia to strain them. Lots of fly fishers use blobs when this is encountered. I tried both but the Tokaryk seemed to match the daphnia colour best and the trout ate our offering!

It is pretty cool to see and fish this opportunity.
