Our roads are all open and
being heavily used. Remember
that a number of forest roads
are unpaved, and therefore
quite dusty, so be cautious and
drive carefully, and enjoy your
trip.
The trails are all in good
condition. The easily accessible
trails receive quite heavy use,
and with so many hikers on
these trails it may seem like

no matter where you hike, on

longer trails such as the

Although there are no fish
of a size to seriously angle for
this August in our stretch of
the Sandy River, this shrunken
stream does have a large
population o f young salmon
and steelhead in the fingerling
stages. To sustain and add
growth to this population, a
large supply o f natural food is
necessary. Just what and where
is this food?
I f you observe the rock

aggregations ¿hat slowly move
about over the rock. These are
the cased larvae o f the Caddis
flies. A closer look will let you
see the small black head and
six black legs o f the creature
within the case.
There are three species of
these larvae o f the larger
Caddis flies which occur in
large numbers in this locality.
All three have cases made up of
grains o f sand and fragments o f
rock cemented together. These
cases are closed at the tail end
except for a tiny hole, whereas
the head end is open wide so
the larvae can extend his head
and thorax to get the legs clear
of the case and move about.
These larvae are plump soft
bodied, wormlike creatures,
except for the head and thorax
which are hardened and black
in color. The large oval cases
contain a very fat, yellow
colored larvae. The long,
noticeably tapered to a point,
cases contain a more slender,
dirty white colored larvae, 't he

oval in shape. The body color
of this larvae is also dirty
white. You will occasionally
find one that differs from these
as there are some lesser species
of no great abundance and thin
distribution.
Fish, large and small, feed
on these larvae. They swallow
them case and all. I have
cleaned many a trout whose
gullet was hard with these
undigestable cases or the sand
from them. Many anglers call

which is a
misnomer, as the name rightly
belongs to a group o f aquatic
snails with conical shells. A
fresh water snail of this shape
also abounds in the river, and
it, too, is eaten by the fish,
shell and all.
Underneath the rocks in the
rapids and riffles lives an entire
world o f life, most o f it odd
looking. The individuals o f this
world range from some o f the
smaller mayfly nymphs o f
one-fourth inch length to the
nymphs of the largest dragon
flies which may measure over
th re e
inches. This world
contains the nymphs o f all the
other great groups o f aquatic
insects such as the mayflies,
stoneflies, damsel flies and
dragonflies.
Entertaining my youngest
granddaughter the other day
brought us to the edge of the
river. I turned over a large rock
at the water’s edge, revealing
two large dragonfly numphs.
These are very active animals
and this particular two were in

The large stoneflies of the
Deschutes system (the famed
Salmon fly is one o f them), are
encountered but seldom on
this side o f the Cascades. Our
local stoneflies are a long
slender built fly up to an inch
long, and their nymphs are o f
the tame size and build. You
will often find them dinging to
the underside o f rocks in fast
water. They can move about
quite rapidly when disturbed.

you may see several reactions.
Some will just let go and float
downstream with the current
until they are again deposited
on the bottom. Others will
crawl back around the rock or
onto the next rock with great
speed.
All of these nymphs get
dislodged from time to time in
one way or another so fish are
always on the lookout for
them and make the most o f it.
There are a couple o f dragonfly
nymphs that turn the tables on
the fish. These large, free
swimming nymphs can and do
catch and eat small fry!
Now we have a river bottom

nymphs. What sustains this

You know the routine. The minute you step into the bathroom, the phone starts ringing
in the kitchen. So you leap up and stumble through the house. But by the time you get
there, they've usually hung up. Why not treat yourself to a little convenience’ A bathroom
