Riverfly Photography Competition Gallery

In 2025, the Riverfly Partnership held a photography competition on the theme ‘Riverflies’ — meaning up-wing flies, caddisflies and stoneflies.

We received a fantastic response, and here we have gathered a gallery of all of the eligible photographs we received. Congratulations to David Haines for the winning photograph, and to the runners-up Paul Fraser and David Warriner.

Many thanks to the organisations that made this competition possible with their generous prize donations:

The winning photograph! Taken by David Haines. "Mayfly (prob. Cloeon sp.) on a fence post, Stoer, Sutherland"

And the rest of the entries…
