Bug identification

Jasonh · #1 03-24-2015, 08:13 AM

Just wondering if anybody in Edmonton ever puts on any type of bug indentification clinic? I know my skills for identifying different types of bugs on the water could sure use some help. I'm sure there are quite a few books on the topic but I'd get a lot more knowledge out of having some body in front of me actually talking about the different types of bugs and what to look for.
I hope somebody out there is doing this, I can't be the only one on the river scratching my head trying to figure out what I'm looking at, lol!!
Thanks in advance for any info.

This is all you really need for Alberta.

The Lethbridge college used to put on a class for bug identification for fly fishermen.
You could call and find out if they still have it.

Other than that just get some books or start looking on the internet at bug identification.

Its pretty easy really. Especially when you find out the main categories that trout feed on.
