Anyone who has participated in Beginning Entomology for Fly Anglers, Mayflies, Caddisflies, or Stoneflies for Fly Anglers classes can join us for a stream sampling trip. We will learn different techniques for understanding what kind of aquatic life is found in streams, take these samples back to the classroom and identify the major groups of insects and observe their behavior and movement, relating that to fly angling techniques.ย Eric Frohmberg; Stream Guide

Following the same models we've used in the Mayflies, Caddisflies and Stoneflies classes, we will explore those aquatic insects and invertebrates.ย ย We will cover, dragonflies, damselflies, midges, craneflies, scuds, cress bugs, crayfish and hellgrammites.ย We will learn about behavior, lifestyles, and how to recognize the common families in Maine. We will look at both preserved and live specimens to think about how to choose flies to best imitate relevant stages of this insect.ย Eric Frohmberg; instructor

Have you given it a try and haven't caught much yet? Are you curious about Euro nymphing and want to know more about the technique? You will learn how to properly assemble a nymphing rig using strike indicators and dropper flies. Instructors will teach you how to make adjustments to your rig according to water depth and velocity on Cobbossee Stream, if water levels permit. Most importantly, youโll learn how to read water where fish are most likely found and feeding on nymphs! Please bring your own rod and waders, if possible!

Insects and other invertebrates trout eat are different in stillwater.ย ย Sometimes the species will be the same that you find in streams, but you will need to fish them differently.ย 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.ย ย We will look at preserved specimens and think about how to choose flies that best imitate relevant stages of these critters.ย ย

You will learn everything you need to know from flies, building leaders, to what rods and lines to use. Euro rod outfits will be supplied for class use. Instructors will teach you how to make adjustments to your rig according to water depth and velocity on Cobbossee Stream, if water levels permit. Please bring your own waders, if possible.
