Insect larvae live in the water through the entire year. Dragonfly nymphs, damselfly nymphs, mayflies, caddis flies, mosquitos, chironomids... you name it.


I'm not a minnow expert but I'm assuming a fat-head minnow of some kind...

Cheers.
Hey Bigtoad .... excellent explanation on the bugs, as well, I'm not sure about the minnows it had in it's gut ... Fat-head or perhaps Mud-minnow.

Pleased you enjoyed the pic's ....
