I always wondered this! Growing up I caught sunfish in the shallows off my dock using basically everything - I've got them on anything from a clover (the plant) to a bare hook. Any fly you splat on the surface generally gets a hit. But all the while these boatmen were swimming all over the place and never got a look.

Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Water Striders--Has anyone witnessed a fish eating a water strider? I have not. I don't understand why they are not crushed by bluegill and other fish. My hypothesis is that they either taste noxious or the fish can't see them. I have seen them swim over fish with no worries. The fish at Riverbend take shelter in the shade provided by hundreds of the little critters.I'm awaiting Gene's response.Rob Snowhite
