About this title

Review

"HATCHES is one of the most informative works of its genre. Its authors have a remarkable ability to succinctly explain the technical aspects of aquatic entomology, but more important the book is unique for its original observations on trout stream insects and their limitations--practical information that we can all put to use." --A.J. McClane "HATCHES...has so much more than all the others that it should be the last word on the subject. Al and Bob's book does the trout dirt, by giving the angler so much valuable information." --Art Flick "HATCHES is one of the most informative works of its genre.

Its major contribution has been the incredibly complete survey of trout stream mayflies. Certainly, no angling entomology had ever covered so many species from across the country; and no other book had ever provided so many important details about specific hatches. It represented a clear jump, not just an evolutionary shuffle, in mayfly knowledge for fly fishermen."--Gary LaFontaine "This classic guide to fishing the hatches of North American trout streams is truly a treasure for fly fishermen of all skills."--"The International Angler
