The Orvis Vest Pocket Guide to Terrestrials (Paperback)

Mayflies and caddisflies aren't the only insects that trout like to eat. The extensive menu of brook, brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout includes beetles, grasshoppers, crickets, ants, moths, and caterpillars--all "terrestrials," or non-aquatic insects. The essential information in The Orvis Vest Pocket Guide to Terrestrials expands the trout angler's fishing opportunities, and includes:
- How to identify the major terrestrial insect species and know when to fish them
- Choosing the right imitations
- Tactics that match trout feeding behavior, including drifting and twitching, tandem-fly rigs, and casting to "sipping" trout
This major group of food insects is crucial to successful trout angling, and this Vest Pocket Guide is the take-along reference for most of North America.
