{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Holmes Run Macro Invertebrate Survey

Spent some time this morning on Holmes below Barcroft. Water is clear and cold. Other than some midges and small crane flies coming off there wasn't much action in the air. Sounded like a deer got taken down too.

In the past year since the chlorinated water spill I have only found caddis in the water. I spent several hours out in July and did not see a single cressbug or scud.

Today was different. Some rocks had over a dozen cress bugs underneath. Small pools had them walking around mixed in with scuds. I grabbed a plastic bottle off the shore and started collecting. Loads of caddis too. Picked up a few clams.

This video shows them after placing in my aquarium. The mosquito fish better lay off the cress bugs or it's going to get relegated to the creek.
