Can I use your pictures?

Yes, with one restriction.

You may use photographs from Eat The Fly, we only ask that you indicate where you got the picture from by giving credit to EatTheFly.com so people know where they can find more.

How can I contribute photos or fly patterns to Eat The Fly?

While we have a large photo database of insects and other organisms that fish eat, we are always looking for more.  We can not afford to pay you for your work, however, we are more than happy to provide links back to your website or business wherever your contributions are featured.

Photographs, Information, or General Inquiries can be sent via email to info@eatthefly.com

I saw something written on your site that isn’t accurate.

While we try to be as scientifically accurate as we can, it is possible that occasionally something posted on the site might be wrong or inaccurate.  Should you see information that you feel is inaccurate, please let us know by emailing your concern to info@eatthefly.com or leaving a comment.  We will investigate your concern and make any necessary corrections as soon as possible so as to maintain the integrity of the site.

I was fishing and an insect species was hatching that your hatch chart said wouldn’t start for another week.

Two words that don’t belong in any biologist’s vocabulary are ‘always’ and ‘never’.  Nature is constantly changing, and sometimes doesn’t like to cooperate as well as we would like.  The emergence periods shown in our hatch charts are only meant to give the angler a general idea of what to expect while fishing during any given time period.

You have several fly patterns shown for the particular hatch I’m tying for, how do I know which one(s) to tie?

The only way of knowing whether or not a particular fly pattern works in your area is to use it.  Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

How do I get my fly shop or conservation organization listed in the hatch charts?

Why don’t you have any information for western states?

Once we’ve finished settling the east, we’ll head west of the Mississippi.  Until then, we recommend www.westfly.com.
