Without bugs, our world as anglers would not exist.

Not only are they primary food source for the trout we love, but they are a lynchpin in the food web for river environments. Entire ecosystems depend on the health of these macro invertebrates from trout to spiders to birds and bats to bears and beyond. Learning about the bugs in your local river systems can improve your fishing and keeping an eye on the health of their populations and timing of hatches helps understand the health of your local stream before and after catastrophic impacts like forest fires
