This week's E2MQ: MATCH THE HATCH

We just had a big weekend around the Northeast.
It was the opening of the (trout) fishing season, an event of near-religious proportions long-awaited over the long winter months, something akin to a piscatorial resurrection.


Reminded as we are of the opening lines of Norman Maclean's A River Runs Through It, this week's E2MQ addresses fly fishing and comes in FOUR PARTS, Name the Trout; Name the Insect; Name the Dry Fly; and Connect Flies to Bugs.  Intermediate prizes will be awarded for each Part and a Grand Prize will be awarded to the overall winner.
