When hatches do occur, many of them only last for a short period of time, a few days or less in many cases. During the hatch mayfly duns may emerge for only an hour or two and not return to the water as a spinner until dark or even well into the night in some cases. So all ...
When my client set the hook, I immediately thought “this is the biggest bass ever,” but to my astonishment it was a mid-40 inches muskie that sipped that bug as gently as a trout sipping mayflies. The battle ended prematurely due to the teeth, but it reaffirmed how important cicadas...
If fine detail matters when the fish is close to the fly (and it must, otherwise last-minute rejections would not occur) then surely we should put as much detail into our flies as possible. Advertisement Well, yes and no. The fish cannot see the same detail that we can, so it might...
Fall– Midges, Mayflies (BWO, Mahogonay duns, tricos, PMDs etc), Caddis (october caddis and others), Stoneflies (occasional hatches but sporadic at best) While this is generalized, it has some good knowledge to use as a base. Look for local hatches in your area and your rivers to nar...

Another idea is that genital asymmetry evolved as the result of sexual conflict. Huber thinks that this could explain why it is so common among insects. It's all to do with the position of coitus, he says. The original position - still seen in primitive insects such as mayflies - had ...
. We are adapting to no air conditioning, no screens on the windows (I never knew mayflies could be so *big*), and all the other things that make France France. There is no comparison to the produce that you can buy fresh from the farm within days of its being picked. The cheese...
That night at supper in The TroutHunter in Last Chance, they said they had tried it, and that it was, indeed, an easy cast to make and had worked better than they expected. Now they use it routinely for trout that are feeding near them. ...
could test the freshest material possible. A bad knot will lose a fish quickly, but a bad spool of tippet is worse, because it will lose many fish. We made sure not to use old material that had been sitting on a retail shelf for a long period of time, and you should do the same...
