Size: 6x1x9; A directory of insect hatches and the matching artificials for all the major rivers in all the contiguous states of the USA, dealt with in three regions. The authors fished all the rivers dealt with, studying the entomology and artificials peculiar to each, as well as collecting useful information from local anglers. A wealth of useful information, especially for an angler planning a trip in advance. Very good bibliography. Chapters include: Introduction; Insect emergence; A closer look at some of the great hatches; Great rivers of the East and their hatches; Great rivers of the Midwest and their hatches; Great rivers of the West and their hatches; Great hatches on lousy days; Patterns for the hatches; Some proposals for better fishing. Charles R. Meck, a lifelong Pennsylvania resident and the author of several successful books on fly-fishing, fished virtually every trout stream in the state of Pennsylvania. He also fished throughout the Mid-Atlantic States, Arizona and New Mexico. When he was not fishing, he was writing, teaching or speaking. His numerous works include the third edition of Trout Streams and Hatches of Pennsylvania, Arizona Trout Streams and Their Hatches, Mid-Atlantic Trout Streams and Their Hatches, Fishing Small Streams with a Fly Rod, and Meeting and Fishing the Hatches. Please see our other hunting, fishing, and natural history titles.
