Pond Bugs
Got a pond full of these + giant water beetles. If someone knows what these bugs are I would appreciate it so I can make a fly to try and match the hatch.I have a pond full of these.
I knew I had bugs but not so many. Plus 1000's of bullfrog tad poles.

I wish I could help. Maybe a generic Gold-Ribbed Hare's Ear, or a Copper John, sizes 16 or smaller? Not sure if you'll be able to tie something that small.
Also, Mr. Twister has a soft-plastic nymph pattern that closely matches what you have, in a variety of colors.
Can't really help on the tadpoles. From what I understand, most tadpoles produce a noxious toxin, and fish won't touch them. However, when they change into Frogs, if there are any LMB's in that pond, start fishing topwater frogs!
