What People Are Saying

Mike Goldblatt
“I did the course. Great stuff. Again I think the photography is exceptional. Clear, well organized info. I learned a few things myself… stone flies have “toes” ! Good work Allen.”
Levi
“I really enjoyed this course for its simplicity and learning how to find out what patterns you should be fishing and being shown some examples how you might fish those patterns. This course helped me a lot in being able to identify insects in any stage they are in on the river. Information is very organized and neat as well.“
Ben
“This course delivered on exactly what they said it would. Learned a ton about all the bugs in rivers and it’s really helped me know what flies to use when I go fishing. Great pictures, helpful diagrams too.“
Zeb
“I took this course being brand new to fly fishing. Pictures and video were great to go along with the amount of information provided! Once the seine came in the mail (which was very quick) I was able to choose the best fly for that situation and caught a nice trout off it right away! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to learn more about entomology.“
Daniel
“Just wanted to say that I just got the entomology course and I really love it so much. I’m very new to all this and this course makes me want to continue learning instead of giving up. Everything in one place , pictures, diagrams , videos, tips, and the summary at the end of the lesson. Thanks again! You did a great job!”
Dave Allen
“This is a good course with a lot of information that is usable to the average fisher person. I especially enjoyed that each section spoke about how you would rig your equipment to fish a particular bug or stretch of river. It’s a must have if you are a novice and it is a good read if you are a seasoned veteran.“
Erik
“Just finished the course. Great job, I really enjoyed it and feel it was money well spent.“
