ABOUT
Ann Miller, an aquatic biologist and writer, has a passion for fly fishing and figuring out what trout eat. While teaching entomology in fly fishing schools, Ann became frustrated with the lack of comprehensive information on Midwest insect hatches, taxonomy, behavior, and flies to match them. Her comprehensive field guides have a user friendly format with information about the aquatic insect on one page and flies that imitate it on the opposing page. Fly tying recipes of individual patterns are also included.
