The Yellow Stonefly Nymph is the 3rd fly in the series of 6 flies for the upcoming group trip to Oconee State Park in South Carolina. The next three flies will be dry flies for this trip. Stonefly nymphs are aquatic, flattened, with 6 sprawling legs and with a segmented abdomen bearing 2 long antenna-like “tails” (cerci). The antennae on the head are long, too. Gills are tuft like and usually positioned at the bases of the legs, on the underside of the body. Each foot has 2 claws. The lengths of the nymph are ½ to 1½ inches.

The small water Sage Dart fly rod features a short-range fast action for chasing wary trout in still and clear water, close quarters, or obstacle-ridden streamsides. Find out more >> https://loom.ly/mRXAeI8 #flyfishing

Thinking about building a run-in shelter for your horse? Consider these 5 crucial things before you start building!

leaks can occur which appear simple and straight forward to find.... once you have found them. however, factor in a large scale equestrian center & farm with multiple dwellings, outbuildings, sheds, stables, multiple fields with multiple troughs for the horses, new extensions, rerouting of pipework to different fields and new buildings all having hidden water sources, the customer just didn't know where to start.   By carrying out CAT & Genny surveys to identify the routes of the external mains pipework & Electronic Acoustic Surveys we were able to identify this leak on a hidden external stop tap, that the customer was unaware existed, which was feeding an original garage. Safe to say the customers "Night-Mare" had been identified. 🐴 🐴 🐴 #leakdetection #Polygonuk #alwaysbyyourside #acoustictesting #polygonleakdetection

Birds have a fascinating adaptation in their feet that is not only functional but also tells us a lot about their behavior and ecological niche! One interesting fact is the arrangement of toes, which can vary widely among different bird species... 👉 Anisodactyl Feet: Most common among perching birds, such as sparrows and robins, anisodactyl feet have three forward-pointing toes and one backward-pointing toe. This arrangement provides a strong grip on branches and allows for precision in perching. 👉 Zygodactyl Feet: Found in some woodpeckers and parrots, zygodactyl feet have two toes pointing forward and two pointing backward. This configuration enhances a bird's ability to grasp onto vertical surfaces like tree trunks or perch on branches, giving them exceptional agility. 👉 Palmate Feet: Ducks and other waterfowl typically have palmate feet, where three forward-pointing toes are connected by webbing. This foot structure is excellent for swimming and helps propel them through the water with efficiency.
