Entomology for Anglers Level 1: 18 May 2024

The purpose of this course is to increase fly-fishers' understanding of entomology, which could make a big difference to their catch. Understanding the lifecycle of the flies that are imitated helps better decisions to be made on what a fish is feeding on, when and where that type of food will be available, and how best to represent that food form. The course will describe certain aspects of the natural fly which can be incorporated into imitations, explain why some flies are more significant than others, and why some important flies are often neglected by anglers. It will also involve a field outing to collect some of the invertebrates the fly-fisher encounters and the fish could be feeding on. This will be followed by practical advice on how to identify them under the microscope.
