Bugwater is that soggy place inhabited by creepy, crawly, hopping, flying, wriggling creatures we call, if imprecisely, bugs. This is a book about bugwater, the bugs living or falling into such places, and the fish that eat them. Trained as a biologist, Arlen Thomason began to study bugs in earnest when he retired and moved to the banks of the McKenzie River. He got serious about studying bug behavior and taking first-rate photographs of what he was discovering. Viewed up-close, the bugs presented striking visages, forms, and colors. Thomason's stunningly detailed photos and fascinating narratives show off the bugs as they deserve. Organized around the seasons, the book follows the bugs and the trout through their life cycles from spring through winter.
With a doctorate in biochemistry, Arlen Thomason built a career as a molecular biologist in biomedical research. Arlen provided photographs for Jeff Morgan's book Productive Trout Flies for Unorthodox Prey: The Oddballs, and his photos have appeared in fly-fishing magazines and web sites. He lives in Walterville along Oregon's McKenzie River.
