thanks for pointing it out. I never observed this spectacle in our waters here, but read about the diving caddis. I think Garry LaFontaine's deep sparkling pupa imitates the diving caddis as well as Oliver Edwards P.O.P.A. caddis.
I was wandering, if this are dry flies.
BTW: this brought interesting reading to the surface. Greg, can you share the pattern with the gang?

Rene, just to add to what Greg wrote, there are several species of
diving caddis, Phryganea or Rush Sedge is another. They are called that
because the adults actually dive from the air in order to break through
the surface film and swim to the bottom to lay eggs. On a small scale,
it's actually quite spectacular when scores of these insects are dive
bombing the surface all around you. Cheers,
