Guns and Roses Variant

No comments yet

Chironomid pupa, as with other nymphs and pupa, trap gas beneath their pupal skin to aid both their ascent and final adult transformation. Early in the emergence, the volume of trapped gas is low and the pupa tend to take on a gun metal grey or pewter color. This variation of John Kent's Guns N' Roses is a great choice for suggesting early staging pupa just above the bottom.

Since you got this far …

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
