EXTRA TERRESTRIALS North America has approximately 600 species of grasshoppers, 600 species of crickets, 1,000 species of ants, and 30,000 species of beetles. Add in outliers such as bees, dragonflies, and cicadas, and you've got a mess of bugs that are classified as terrestrials. Now is the time to stuff your fly boxes with damselflies, grasshoppers, ants, and cicadas so you're ready to serve up some big-trout food during late-summer fishing trips. We asked five top trout guides to see which terrestrial rig they prefer and how they fish it.
