Christopher K 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2013 I'm not the most up to date person on all the bugs trout like to munch on and was wondering if anyone could recommend a book that discusses aquatic insects, specifically those on the northeast and Ontario. Just want to learn the different lifecycles, species and habitats. Thanks for any input! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That book that Jam linked is amazing...but extremely hard to find, had a friend with a copy and got to leaf through it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyFishin'Jam 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2013 Would north east not apply to Ontario? I did not realize it was for Ontario, further east is Quebec. I will fish along the St. Lawrence and i have seen the Western shores. What river or system you fishing at what time of year will determine this. Some sweet books mentioned. Algonquin is also a very interesting area. So is lake of the woods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the issues I'm seeing online are pretty pricey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
