This compact, little pocket book - the first ever to feature the natural insect next to its matching artificial fly - arms the angler with all the information he needs to select the right fly from his flybox.
• Superb photographs of aquatic insects (larvae, pupae, adults)
with the artificial flies positioned alongside them
• Times of hatching
• The geographical distribution
• Whether it is a river fly or a lake fly, or both
• Life cycles of the insects
• Clues from the river and from the trout's behaviour
