This Is Why Anglers Flip Rocks

A note from RoundRocks Flies (@roundrockflies):

This video was taken on the Henry’s Fork just before the hatch got going a few weeks ago.

We were shocked when we tipped over this rock. I’ve never seen that many stoneflies under one rock, and I’ve never seen them that bright orange.

I’m fascinated by these bugs, and I’m always kicking around the river hoping to see a few under the rocks. This particular day we hit the jackpot.
