Eastern Fly Hatch Charts for Brown, Rainbow, and Brook Trout

When the hatch is on trout often will not bite anything else. "Match the Hatch" flies should be used when that particular type of Mayfly, Caddis, or Terrestrial is present. Local fly shops are the best source of information on the current hatch while hatch charts can help while planning a trip. Here is a good starting list of Eastern Fly Hatch Charts:

North Georgia Trout Online

Blue Ridge Trout Hatch Chart

Fly Fish NC Hatch Chart -- This chart will help you identify all the bugs and insects that hatch in North Carolina Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains

Maine Fly Fishing --Maine and New England fly chart

I would try pack fly boxes with the similarities between charts when I am not sure. Again, local experts are the best source.

If you find yourself on the water with no identifiable hatch you can use a prospecting fly to help your narrow down. A prospecting fly is usually larger, often brighter, than the hatching fly to help trout notice and recognize a fly as food. Fishing multiple flies on a dropper rig may also improve your odds. When there is no apparent hatch it may be an excellent time to get out the terrestrials. The fly assortments below may help you put together a robust fly collection or it may be time to start tying your own trout flies.
