Dave Goulson | Insect Apocolypse

Entomology has been intertwined in fly fishing from the beginning. Studying insects may be the oldest part of fly fishing. A long time ago fish were observed eating insects and artificial bugs were created to fool the fish. There were a lot more bugs back then. A fraction of those organism exist today due to the need for human’s to control nature.. How are you going to match the hatch when the hatch isn't there?
