Description:
A major study of one of the most important aquatic insects - entomology, fly tying, and proven fishing techniques. Drawings by Harvey Eckert. Part 1: Tying and Fishing Caddisfly imitations; Part 2: The Biology of Caddisflies. This book fills a major gap in the fly-fishing literature. Introduces new, tested, and better patterns that impressionistically and effectively imitate the live insect. Presents detailed instructions on how best to fish larval, pupal, and adult flies - strategies, tactics, and proven techniques. There is a careful study of the indicators that signal either emergence or egg-laying and there is instruction on the different ways fish feed on each stage. Finally, there is a truly comprehensive fly-fisherman's entomology - clear and thorough - of the important caddisfly species, with emergence tables and distribution charts for representative and major trout streams in various parts of North America.
