Match the Hatch

Match the Hatch

$25.00

We’re excited to partner with Fly Fish Instruct  for our online education courses.  The recorded “Match the Hatch” Online Course is geared towards the beginner/intermediate angler. Understanding basic entomology is key to becoming an independent angler. This course focuses on fishing rivers and the four main orders (Mayfly, Caddis, Stoneflies and Midges).

This course begins with a foundation of terminology and definitions of flies and learning how to classify aquatic insects.  We then go into great detail about the 5 factors when choosing a fly.  Next, we discuss the four fly categories (searching, impressionistic, imitative and attractors) and give fly examples for each category.  Entomologist, Megan Hess, walks us through the lifecycles and shares fly patterns that mimic specific stages of the four most common orders.  After “Intro to Entomology,” we go through the characteristics of a hatch and suggest fly patterns to fish within each hatch stage.  Finally, we discuss finding and using hatch charts and share Megan and Heather’s Top 20 Fly Patterns. 

Fly Fish Instruct acknowledges the many barriers to fly fishing.  Scholarships are available for those who are unable to afford the class.  Please email info@flyfishinstruct.com to ask for one.  Thank you so much for your support.
