Pocketguide to Eastern Hatches

More than 20 years after the publication of his influential and highly regarded guide to matching New England insect hatches, Thomas Ames Jr. expands his focus to trout and salmon fisheries across the eastern United States. This updated edition explores how hatch-matching techniques and patterns have evolved in the 21st century to address the changing and increasingly challenging conditions found on Eastern rivers and streams. The Pocket Guide to Eastern Hatches features easy-to-follow fly-pattern recipes, detailed descriptions, and striking photographs showcasing both natural insects and their artificial counterparts.
