The attempt to "match the hatch"--to pair a dry fly perfectly with
its natural as the insect emerges--is something every fly fisher
hopes to experience. Trout, however, eat all the time and have no
intention of waiting for the mayflies to make up their mind. So,
while an understanding of dry flies is truly important, the fly
fisher who catches fish consistently knows about everything trout
like to eat, a menu that includes a wide variety of aquatic
species. This book is your essential guide to all the crucial
issues: How various flies imitate correctly a variety of food
items. How to understand trout feeding patterns and watch the water
to spot them. How to identify the important mayflies, stoneflies,
caddisflies, midges, and other aquatic insects, and choose
imitations. How to identify forage fish. And how to make proper
presentations. Throughout this book, the author's enjoyable
black-and-white illustrations
reinforce the discussion and give highly accurate portrayals of
what the
angler can expect to see in the field. A full-color section
includes size and color charts for many major insects, crustaceans,
and forage fish.
