Packed with everything the the fisherman needs to know,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Western Mayfly Hatches (Paperback)
Aquatic entomologist Rick Hafele and fly fisherman Dave Hughes combine their knowledge and experience in Western Mayfly Hatches From The Rockies To The Pacific, a straightforward reference packed with everything the the fisherman needs to know with regard to how to identify and match mayflies and how to fish their imitations, as well as a wealth of information fascinating to anyone interested in collecting and observing mayflies, their behavior and their natural history. Full-color illustrations and more than 350 color photographs throughout add a bright touch to this thick compilation of information gathered over twenty years. A must-have for anyone, whether inclined toward science or fishing, who needs to know more about the secret lives of mayflies.

All you need to know about western mayfly hatches,
This review is from: Western Mayfly Hatches (Paperback)
This is a great book. The counterpart of Gary LaFontaine's classic on the caddis. The book is well researched, clearly written, well illustrated with drawings and photographs. Filled with recipes for all the mayflies you could want to tie.

Western Mayfly Hatches,

This review is from: Western Mayfly Hatches (Paperback)
Everything about this book is first class, the quality of its construction, illustrations and top-rate information. The book focuses on info that can really be used by the fly fisherman. I found it both fascinating and helpful. If you want to move from guessing about which insects to use to being knowledgeable, this is the book to have. I think anyone confused by insect hatches and their importance to trout fishing will find this book extremely invaluable.
The book has a short introduction to the various types of insects found in western waters. From the intro, it moves on to the insects most commonly found in the region, their importance to trout feeding, the differences among them, including those existing between the male and female of each species, the patterns to imitate them (with appropriate sizes, colors, etc) and the best times to fish them. This is a beautiful book and should be in any fly fisherman's collection. I highly recommend it.
