Nearly any insect can fall in the water ... but some are more important for trout fishing than others. In this class, we'll talk about some of the orders of insects that are commonly eaten by trout. We'll talk about how to recognize them, learn about their behavior, and discuss flies and techniques to imitate them. We'll look at both preserved and, depending on the weather, live specimens.
