Stillwater Critters
From 1pm until 3pm
At Selene's Fly Shop
218 Water St Gardiner Maine 04345
$25
Insects and other invertebrates trout eat are different in stillwater. Sometimes the species will be the same that you find in streams, but you will need to fish them differently. In this class we will talk about midges, mayflies and caddisflies, flies, dragon and damselflies, leeches, water boatmen and backswimmers, and other critters that are specific to stillwaters in Maine. We will look at preserved specimens and think about how to choose flies that best imitate relevant stages of these critters.

Nearly any insect can fall in the water ... but some are more important for trout fishing than others. In this class, we'll talk about some of the orders of insects that are commonly eaten by trout. We'll talk about how to recognize them, learn about their behavior, and discuss flies and techniques to imitate them. We'll look at both preserved and, depending on the weather, live specimens.
