Watch the Wildflowers

Year after year the aquatic insects emerge from the streams at the times specific wildflowers bloom. You can use this information to help select the correct fly with which to fish. For example, if you saw Quill Gordon Mayflies hatching from the stream last year when the delicate little bloodroot wildflowers were in bloom you better be ready with some Quill Gordon and Mr. Rapidan Dry flies when you see the blooming bloodroot this year.
