Terrestrials the other hatch
Glenn Weisner & Wayne Samson of Glenn River Fly Co. Ltd. (www.glennriver.com) have been tying flies and fishing for decades. Career schedules, family commitments and plain old bad luck generally means that when they show up on a trout stream the main insect hatch has already come and gone. It was for this very reason that Glenn and Wayne started to research and tie Terrestrial patterns. The other hatch is a compilation of their most productive Terrestrial patterns that are durable enough to withstand a fifty bluegill afternoon in your favorite farm pond and creative enough to be presented on virtually any trout water setting.
