We highly recommend this Emergence Schedule ...... Know your bugs! The Challenge Chapter of Michigan Trout Unlimited has published a complete 90-page guide to matching the insect hatches of Michigan trout streams, with each species detailed on its own page. This book is a must-have for both the serious and the novice fly fisherman. This excellent schedule provides the angler with the dates and times of day for zeroing in on maximum insect activity, the stretches of stream habitat where the action will take place, and the right sequence of flies to use to fish all phases of the hatch. Compiled by member John J. P. Long, this excellent reference can be yours for $20 from the fly fishing department at Nordic Sports.
