Terrestrials are always a favorite of mine to fish throughout the summer months. Anytime that you are out around shaded areas, throw on a terrestrial and more then likely you'll be able to fool several aggressive fish! The patterns are almost infinite to choose from but below are a selection of a few patterns that I love to use during the summer months. Enjoy!
