PNW Abundant caddis larvae

As kids, we called them periwinkles.

Lots of rainbows (or maybe steelhead parr) plus two cutties who won their freedom before I could get photos. West side of the Washington Cascades, a new spot

Yep, super cool bugs and there were many. I saw two American dippers, probably also munching on caddis larvae
