question 116

Essay

Identify for which claims, if any, support has been given in the following passage; and state in your own words the reasons that have been offered for these claims.
Trout do feed on mosquito larvae, but they seldom feed on adult mosquitoes. So it is not likely that fish take an imitation mosquito because they are fooled into thinking it is a real one. Most likely they take the mosquito fly for a midge or a gray caddis.
-Adapted from Jack Dennis, Western Trout Fly Tying Manual
