Wonderful book for everyone from beginner to expert angler. Huge help in choosing the best fly for the occasion. I recommend that you pay the extra to get the spiral bound...much easier to use.

The perfect pocket sized book to help fly fishermen identify the "bugs" they are seeing on the water. Well illustrated with photos of the insects and photos of the flies used to imitate them. This book is exactly what I was looking for!

This is a great and useful book for anyone wanting to fish lakes. It is small enough to fit in your pocket. Jim always has great photography. Smaller than some books but contains enough information to be very useful

Not nearly as good as I'd hoped. Nothing like the (excellent) similar 'hatch guide to streams' by a different author.
Get yourself that one instead.
