6 Let s face it TROUT EAT INSECTS!
7 Entomology (from Greek ἔντομος, entomos, "that which is cut in pieces or segmented", hence "insect"; and -λογία, -logia) is the scientific study of insects. Entomology is The study of insects For our purposes, it will focus mainly on those insects that live in the trout s aquatic world and upon which they feed The key to successful fly-fishing for trout lies in our ability to match the hatch!
8 An entomological approach to fly-fishing for trout focuses on the types of insects upon which trout feed, and demands a knowledge of the best fly pattern to replicate how these insects live and behave.
9 Entomology helps you identify the basic insects that live in a trout stream and upon which the trout most often feed. Mayflies Caddis flies Stoneflies Other insects
10 Important: If we can develop a good sense of what forms of life inhabit the waters where the trout feed, we can develop a systematic and effective means of catching them!
11 Some Typical Trout Stream Foods
12 Remember

14 If you want to learn about trout foods, learn to collect steam insect samples.
15 MAYFLIES
16 Mayflies may be the most important insects for trout fly-fishers to know about and understand. They are famous, even outside the world of fishing, for their fragile, graceful beauty and short adult life span, which lasts, in most cases, but a single day to mate and die!

31 SUMMARY: Popular Fishable Mayfly Forms
32 Eastern Super Hatches
33 Big fish are most catchable during a super hatch!
34 So, refer to your hatch chart
35 Pick the correct fly, and
36 CADDIS FLIES
37 Some trout fly-fishers say that caddis flies are even more important than mayflies. Since Gary LaFontaine s ground-breaking book, Caddiesflies, they have been getting more than their fare share of attention on the end of a tippet! Sadly, though, many anglers simply don t know enough about them and simply think all caddis flies are pretty much the same, which is just not the case!
38 Caddis Flies There is just as much variety in their emergence and egg-laying behaviors as mayflies, and as many patterns and techniques are needed to properly match them in order to induce a trout s strike.
39 Caddis larva on a sandy bottom.
40 Cased Caddis on an underwater log.
41 Caddis Fly-fishing Can be a deep-nymph fisher s dream Because they can drift below the surface along the river bottom for long periods of time before trying to break through the water s surface, the fishing action can be extended and more consistent than when fishing a mayfly hatch
42 Caddis Pupae The pupae become very active just before emergence. They may drift along the river bottom for many hours before emergence. They are generally excellent swimmers. They use their legs as paddles rather than wriggling their bodies to move.
43 Most caddis species Rise to the surface and struggle to get through the surface film Take flight quickly once they re through the water However, slower species must drift and struggle for longer periods of time, half submerged, before they can wriggle free of their pupal shucks.
44 Some caddis pupae Crawl out of the water on rocks, sticks, etc. Thus, the adults emerge high and dry
45 Some caddis pupae Rise quickly to the surface Swim across to the shore Crawl out and emerge
46 After emerging Adult caddis flies live for a longer period of time than mayflies, anywhere from several days to a few weeks, depending on the species Are able to drink and remain hydrated Mating can be seen for longer period of time long after emergence is completed
47 Most caddis fly larva live in cases they build out of Sand Rocks Twigs Leaf pieces Other underwater debris
48 Some caddis can spin silk! They spin nets instead of building cases. In this case, these are not their residences, but rather hunting traps. They are like spider webs and catch plankton and smaller aquatic insects the larvae eat. A single caddis larva will usually build several nets and then freely roam around the rocks and logs tending his nets and devouring the catch!
49 Caddis Fly Biology When caddis larva are fullgrown, they seek hiding places to pupate, either in their cases or in special cocoons. They are considered pupae throughout the transformation from grub-like larva into intricate winged adults.
50 Adult Caddis Anatomy Long Antennae Head Thorax Abdomen Legs Tent-Shaped Wings NO TAILS!
51 Caddis-caught brown trout!
52 STONEFLIES
53 STONEFLIES In our area, stoneflies are the largest, but usually least important, of the three main types of trout steam insects. Typically, they are far more important out West where adult Pteronarcys stone fly hatches occur, such as the fabled Salmon Fly Hatch. Are usually fished here in the northeast in the nymphal form when no other visible hatches are observed. Some species live as nymphs for up to three years!
54 Stonefly Nymph Top View
55 Stonefly Nymph Bottom View
56 Stoneflies on a log.
57 Empty Stonefly nymphal shucks.
58 Adult stoneflies are essentially unimportant here in northeast Pennsylvania because: Their emergence style keeps them safe from trout at a stage when mayflies and caddis flies are the most vulnerable. They emerge by crawling out of the water onto: Rocks Sticks and Other shoreline objects.
59 Adult Stonefly Emerging!
60 AFTER EMERGING Adult stoneflies may live for up to a month. They are like caddis flies and unlike mayflies in that many stone fly adults can eat and drink as adults.
61 Let s Review the Most Typical Trout Stream Foods
62 Other Life Forms Trout Eat
63 BEETLES Largest order of insects. Many beetle species are taken by trout. Anglers usually fish the adult under a streamside branch to imitate a beetle that has fallen in. Some species live underwater their entire lives. Others live underwater only as larva. Beetle larvae can assume many different shapes.
64 Brown caught on a beetle imitation.
65 MIDGES Extremely important food source in many areas. Quite abundant in fertile spring creeks. Abundant in slow moving streams making them easy prey for trout.
66 Took a size #26 midge!
67 ANTS!
68 During warm weather, an ant pattern cast along the bank, under an overhanging branch, can be a go to fly when there's no surface activity.
69 Gulped a flying ant!
70 DRAGONFLIES Adults are rarely vulnerable to trout because of their superb flying ability. The large, slower nymphs are easy prey for trout.
71 DOBSON FLIES Predatory larvae are known as hellgrammites Largest trout stream insect! Often imitated by a deeply-fished Woolly Bugger.
72 Readily available in most streams. Often overlooked by fly-fishers. Big, nutritious food source. Trout love them! CRAYFISH
73 A large Woolly Bugger makes a good imitation for either a hellgrammite or a crayfish.
74 This brown trout took a large Woolly Bugger.
75 Leeches
76 Caught on a black leech!
77 Water Boatman
78 Scuds
79 Crane Flies
80 Damsel Flies
81 Leaf Hoppers
82 Crickets
83 Grasshoppers
84 Spiders
85 Moths
86 Butterflies
87 Bees
88 Wasps
89 Field Mice and Voles
90 Small Ducklings
91 Frogs
92 Trout Eggs & Other Fish Eggs
93 Water Fleas (Daphnia)
94 Caterpillars
95 Snails
96 Newts & Salamanders
97 Small Water Snakes
98 and of course, common EARTHWORMS!
99 And, of course, big trout eat other fish! Chubs Sculpins Black Nose Dace
100 Putting it all together or A Simple Entomological Approach to Fly-fishing Success
101 SUMMARY: Develop a basic knowledge of trout stream insects. Learn to identify the insect form that s currently emerging. Select the appropriate fly pattern that matches the hatch at that moment in time. Make a quiet cast and a drag-free float into the trout s visual window. Stay alert and get ready to set the hook!
102 So, if you want to catch trout like this Let s review one more time!
103 1. Identify the hatch currently coming off and upon which the trout are actively feeding.
104 2. Select a matching fly pattern for the same insect form upon which the trout are currently feeding.
105 3. Locate an active feeding fish, and move into an invisible position so that trout can t see you approaching and casting to it!
106 4. Make a good, quiet cast to the trout and let your fly float in a drag-free manner, moving at the same velocity as the natural food in the water.
107 5. SET THE HOOK!
108 6. Smile!
109 Now that you have a better sense of the insects that trout eat and how to imitate their various forms through appropriate fly selection, it s time for you to tie up some flies and get to your local trout stream! Good luck and TIGHT LINES!
110 THE END!
