Great for Vest or Bench,
By Dr Feelgood "dmk5n" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hatch Guide for New England Streams (Paperback)
This is not only a great streamside reference but nice to keep near the fly tying bench when attempting to match the hatch. There are excellent high quality photos of the bugs on the left hand side with info about the bugs habitat, etc... Also you get pictures of at least three corresponding flies with tips on how to fish them. The book covers Caddis, Mayflies, Stones, Terrestrials. I fish mainly in North Carolina and find the book extremely helpful.

A streamside gem,
By
This review is from: Hatch Guide for New England Streams (Paperback)
This little book is unique. It combines high quality photos of most of the New England streamside insects trout love to eat with examples of imitations we hope they'll try. The author, a professional photogapher, avid fly fisherman and amateur entomologist, has devised means to capture the appearance of these tasty bugs in perfect detail as they develop from their origins on the stream bottom to their emerging stages in the biologic drift to their mature forms, winged and mating on and above the surface. This book fits in a zip lock sandwich baggy in your hip pocket, and paired with your curiosity on the water, you will get streamside bug savvy and catch more trout.

Makes Me Feel Like An Expert,
By Randy Kadish "Author of The Bad, The Good and... (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hatch Guide for New England Streams (Paperback)
I simply don't have the time to make an in-depth study to entomology. With this book I don't feel a need to. It has chapters on the basic techniques of fishing Wets, Dries, Nymphs, which I find very helpful. But what makes this book special is that Mr. Ames devotes a full page to each stage of most northeast flies, and describes where and when those insects can be found, how they behave, and how they can be caught.
Before I head to the stream, I simply read up on the insects I expect to find and, therefore, have a solid game plan in place when I step into the water. Also, the photography of the flies is great. This is one of the most used fly-fishing books I own. Randy
