Introducing
The Mayfly
Spent, dun, emerger and nymph. Mayflies are one of the more important components of many fish's diet. For the fly fishers, they are like the puck in a hockey game - no puck, no game.
Introducing
The Caddis
Caddis hatch either freely in the water surface or by the pupa climbing onto stones or vegetation in the water or next to the shore. They are found in both flowing and still water. Egg-laying often takes place by the female bouncing forward on the surface of the water at high speed and then spreading her eggs.
Introducing
Midges
Small and uninteresting says the inexperienced, small and highly interesting says the experienced. Because that's how it is, the size is not interesting for the fish, it's the availability, the amount of a certain insect species that decides.
Introducing
The Stonefly
Here, instead, the larval stage is more interesting as these are easier for the fish to find and take.Stonefliesrarely hatch in large numbers, but belong to the species that usually hatch earliest in the season. It is not unusual to see larvae climbing up along the ice to hatch on an early spring day when the sun comes out.
Introducing
The Scuds
Whether you fish in lakes, streams, rivers, streams or along the coast in search of sea trout, there is a very good chance that the fish you are looking for will take these small crustaceans at some point each day. Imitations of these in your box are as basic as not forgetting the fly reel at home when you go fishing.
Introducing
Terrestrials
A number of land insects are included in the food of many fish. These tend to be of greater interest when the hatching of insects in the water has subsided, especially late in the season. During this period, when it starts to get cold in the air and the mornings often begin with frost, many terrestrial insects become stubborn in their behavior.
