darrinhurst Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Isn't that a backswimmer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBow Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Looks like a Boatman. It doesnt have the large legs protruding from rear sides that a backswimmer has. All those splashy rises that you see on the river are probably Boatman takes . There is alot of them hanging just under the surface on the river right now.

Gaffer Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Definately a boatman, family Corixidea You should be finding them as they overwinter as adults and mate in the spring. The late summer action when you see them in when they are hatching. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
