How to Fly Fish a Hatch

Mon, 09/23/2013 - 10:20 -- jmaslar

There is a great deal of misconception regarding the hatching of aquatic insects. For example the hatch often referred to in hatch charts is actually when the flies emerge into adults. The actual hatch has already occurred prior to that time. However, for purposes of this article, we will use the standard term for hatch meaning when the flies emerge. It should be noted that insects spend most of their lives as nymphs, pupae or larva. Therefore the trout have far greater opportunity to eat them prior to their emerging. After they emerge as adults, they soon fly away.

Not only does the appearance of the "Perfect Fly" Brown Sculpin closely resemble the sculpin, but its movements and and its behavior also closely resemble that of the actual sculpin. After several tests, we decided to use the eyes but not weight the fly. If the fly had added weight it would not work nearly as well as it does without weight in shallow water.
