Successful fishing on Western streams requires preparation--you need to know what insects are emerging, when and where, and which patterns best match them. Now, thanks to Jim Schollmeyer, the guessing is over. Hatch Guide for Western Streams is the third in Jim's successful Hatch Guide series. Jim covers all you need for a productive trip on Western streams: water types you'll encounter; successful fishing techniques; identifying the major hatches, providing basic background information about these insects. Information is presented in a simple, clear manner. A full-color photograph of the natural is shown on the left-hand page, complete with its characteristics, habits and habitat; the right-hand page shows three flies to match the natural, including effective fishing techniques.

Explores insects of New England. Covers: reading water; presentations for New England streams, tackle; night fishing; & more. Similar in style to Jim Schollmeyer's successful "Hatch Guide" series, Ames discusses the natural & its behaviors on the left-hand page & the three best flies to imitate it on the right, including proper size & effective techniques. Tom's color photography of the naturals & their imitations is superb. Full color, insect & fly plates; 4x5 inches, 272 pgs.

New England's streams, and the insects and fish that inhabit them, have their own unique qualities. Their flowing waters support an amazing diversity of insect species from all of the major orders-in fact, at last count, Maine, alone, has 162 species of mayflies, the most of any state. Few, if any, books deal with the insects and life stages specific to New England, until now.

REVIEW
"The most down-to-earth, practical book ever written on angling entomology." - Fly Fisherman magazine

Everything you need to know to match any mayfly you'll ever encounter. Full color; 8.5x11 inches, 84 pgs.

Mayflies are the most important order of aquatic insects to those who fly fish for trout.

A new guide to understanding hatches across the United States by a noted fly fishing authority. Meck's genius is to show the angler that the understanding we need to catch fish is not the memorization of hundreds of bugs and their Latin names. Meck identifies the broad patterns by which hatches happen. Instead of memorizing all the individual insects, the angler just needs to learn the timing of the patterns to these hatches.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Charles R. Meck is the author of six successful books on fishing. His works include Arizona Trout Streams and Their Hatches, Trout Streams and Hatches of Pennsylvania, Mid-Atlantic Trout Streams and Their Hatches, Fishing Small Streams with a Fly-Rod, and Meeting and Fishing the Hatches. He lives in Mesa, Arizona and Pennsylvania Furnace, Pennsylvania.

NOTES BY THE AUTHOR:
Being on the stream & catching a trout is great fun...but fooling a trout on a fly you tied - or even created - can be a very staisfying & rewarding experience.

If there is one thing that I have learned while doing research on this project, it is that fly patterns for these Michigan hatches is a forum open to debate! If I went to four different fly shops for a Hendrickson pattern, chances are I would receive 4 different flies. From compara duns to parachutes, to quill bodies or fur, mallard wings and synthetic wings etc...etc... There are a LOT of patterns out there for the Hendrickson alone.

They have been helping fly fishermen catch trout for years and will continue doing so for a long time to come. Some are newer and others have been enhanced by more up-to-date tying materials. All will help you on the stream. Now, when you call your favorite fly shop and hear the "Brown Drakes" are hatching, you can look up the hatch info. Also, now that you have the basics like hook size, body color, wing color and one good pattern to copy...experiment a little. Try a quill body instead of fur, wrap on a synthetic wing instead of a mallard flank. Use some HI-VIS in place of a tail and now you have a trailing shuck. Keep the size and color similar to the original pattern and your options are open.

My hope is that this guide will aid you in selecting the proper Trout Flies for the Michigan Emergence Schedule.

This angler's study of the most important aquatic insects for trout waters has a foreword by the late Gary LaFontaine. Illus, color plates & B&W photos. 8x11 inches, 384 pgs.

This really is the new Bible on mayflies. It contains all the information that anglers and professional entomologists have discovered in the past ten years. With more than 200 illustrations, Mayflies will take anyone-from beginner to advanced fly fisher-and make that person a better nymph and dry-fly fisherman on waters coast to coast.

MAYFLIES will do for the angler's understanding of Mayfly life cycles, feeding habits & behavior what Gary LaFontaine's CADDISFLIES did. It is so thorough & so accurate that it will stand as the modern blueprint for anglers trying to master this diverse prolific family of aquatic insects.

REVIEWS
The fly-fishing world has a new bible on mayflies. I love this book. . . . The science in this work will translate directly into more success on trout waters all over the country-it's that comprehensive. -Graham Marsh

This angler's study of the most important aquatic insects for trout waters has a foreword by the late Gary LaFontaine. Illus, color plates & B&W photos. 8x11 inches, 384 pgs.

This really is the new Bible on mayflies. It contains all the information that anglers and professional entomologists have discovered in the past ten years. With more than 200 illustrations, Mayflies will take anyone-from beginner to advanced fly fisher-and make that person a better nymph and dry-fly fisherman on waters coast to coast.

MAYFLIES will do for the angler's understanding of Mayfly life cycles, feeding habits & behavior what Gary LaFontaine's Caddisflies did. It is so thorough & so accurate that it will stand as the modern blueprint for anglers trying to master this diverse prolific family of aquatic insects.

REVIEWS
The fly-fishing world has a new bible on mayflies. I love this book. . . . The science in this work will translate directly into more success on trout waters all over the country-it's that comprehensive. -Graham Marsh
