{{+1}}Willow grub{{-1}}
{{start}}
During spring and early summer and for up to four months from then Willow trees often play host to a parasitic insect that lays its eggs amongst the foliage. The eggs hatch after only a short gestation period and the grubs feed on the leaves of the tree. These "Willow grubs" as they have become known, are often blown off the tree by the wind or simply fall off often finding themselves on the surface of the water where they are gorged on trout generally at the exclusion of all other passing tucker.
