TROUT FLIES

Nice Brown, Cowichan River Trout Flies Collection It doesn't matter where in the world you are doing your trout fishing, trout will eat just about anything they can swallow. Small Rainbow trout may target mostly aquatic insects, grasshoppers, snails and beetles while a large Lake trout's diet may include everything a small rainbow might eat including the rainbow trout plus crayfish, frogs and mice etc. The trout is a carnivore so fly dressers world wide have spent centuries attempting to make the perfect trout flies by trying to imitate with fur and feathers.
