Tom Schultz - Fly Fishing Entomolgy

Ever stood streamside watching trout rise, only to wonder which fly in your box actually matches what they're eating?

This month, we are excited to host Tom Schultz for an insightful presentation on aquatic entomology and fly selection. Tom will demystify the bugs that inhabit our local trout streams and bridge the gap between stream biology and practical fly fishing.

Presentation Highlights:

  • Demystifying Bug Life Cycles: Understanding nymph, emerger, adult, and spent stages—and when trout target each.

  • Fly Pattern Pairing: Connecting natural insects to their corresponding dry flies, nymphs, and emerger imitations.

  • Seasonal Bug Trends: What hatches to expect throughout the year on regional tailwaters and freestones.

  • Practical Bug Sampling: Easy ways to inspect rocks and water to see what trout are actively feeding on.

Elevate your time on the water by learning to read the hatch like a pro. Come early, catch up with fellow anglers, and bring your questions!
