Amazon.com Review

This field guide to the associations between plants and insects gets to the heart of what fly-fishing is all about. There may be more effective ways to catch fish, but none requires the awareness, guile, and knowledge of the natural world that is paramount to successful angling with a flyrod. With detailed color drawings and field tips, Trout Flies & Flowers identifies a host of plant species in North America and the insects that frequent them. It's a simple concept that has received relatively little investigation. "This book has been put together for one specific purpose," the author explains in the preface, "to help you choose the fly that best represents the insects hatching on the stream." In other word, to help you catch fish on a fly--which is always a learning experience. Trout Flies & Flowers takes that learning in a new, fruitful direction.

From the Back Cover

For those of us searching for the answer to the most asked question in fly fishing. Which fly should I use? This book will offer you the simplest answer. Flowers bloom, and insects hatch in a trout stream, in the same specific order year after year. Just as Daffodils bloom before Tulips, Hendricksons hatch before the Green Drakes. The illustrated plants are the indicators of which fly to use. The hatching insects and the blooming plants are directly influenced by the same factors, light and temperature. The flowers illustrated were selected for their ease of recognition, and more importantly, because the blooming period coincides with the hatch of trout stream insects. As flowers are much more recognizable than insects for most of us, why not use the method that makes fly selection easy, and fly fishing more fun. (51/4 X 73/4, 92 pages, color & b&w illustrations, charts)

5.0 out of 5 stars Common sense - Match the Hatch

The books information is based on the theory that flowers and insects will bloom or hatch at the same time. This is found to be accurate in my personal experiences as well and makes you look for other clues in nature to increase your fishing success. Try it out and be amazed!

I've given this book to a dozen people I've taught to flyfish for trout. They have all enjoyed the book. I've used the book stream side all over New England, NY, and Pennsylvania. It's a great book.
