Tip:Trout Fishing with Bugs

Summertime is when the bugs are eating you up. Mosquitoes, ants, etc are on the prowl. Well, it is not all bad news as it is the beginning of terrestrial season for all trout fishermen. Get out your flies or better yet tie your own beetles, black ants, gnat (pictured), inchworms, grasshoppers, or other insects.

These flies are fun to use as they are all top water dry flies. That means that they can produce some spectacular action when the trout hits the surface and takes them in. Also, note that the colorful Brookies, or "specs" as they are often called, are easy prey for the top water flies.
