Fly Fishing with Terrestrials

Wed, 08/11/2010 - 16:13 -- jmaslar

Terrestrial insects, including ants, beetles, houseflies, bees, spiders, crickets, grasshoppers, worms, moths and more do not intentionally spend any of their life cycles in the water. The only time that they get in the water is when they land in the water accidentally, helped by the wind, rain or snow. Contrary to popular belief, they do not constitute a large part of the trout’s diet; in fact, it is believed that they may be only 1% of their diet.

There are so many excellent often overlooked trout streams in New England, that we at TroutProStore.com, have decided to create a special geographical section for the New England area.

Midges are a Staple in the Diet of Trout

Mon, 08/02/2010 - 10:48 -- jmaslar

Chironomid is the scientific name for midges which are small insects, averaging from 1 to 10mm long and resembling mosquitos, but unlike mosquitos they do not bite. They live in fertile streams and ponds and are extremely prolific, which is why they are often seen as clouds of insects. They are an important source of food for trout all year long. In the late summer and the winters, they take up the slack when other aquatic hatches have slowed.

Where do Trout Feed

Sun, 08/01/2010 - 12:07 -- jmaslar

When fly fishing and there is no hatch occuring, look for the trout to be in the slower water. Trout do not always feed in the faster moving water, as they very often feed in the slow to moderately flowing water near the bottom. In very cold water, the trout will almost always be found feeding in the slower moving water in the lower or bottom sections of the stream. This helps them conserve their energy ensuring that they do not expend more energy than the energy derived from the food.
