A Wealth of Information July 17, 2007

Dave Hughes has hit a homerun with this offering. Very informative! Good reading, as well as a great reference guide. I've been fly fishing for over 25 years and have accumilated quite a library of books that cover all aspects of the sport. Many books dredge over the same material over and over again. Handbook of Hatches gives a different perspective at choosing the best fly for a particular situation. Imitative vs. impressionistic. When and where to use each.
My copy stays in my Jeep, ready to be thumbed through during a break to help me solve any trout food issues that I may be encountering. It has proven to be a fine streamside guide that myself and my fellow fly fishermen have gone to many times.

This is far more than an introduction to the entymology, the context, and the how-to instruction to identifying, tying and fishing with flies that match the hatches. Clearly written and well illustrated with color photography, Handbook of Hatches is a pleasure to read and reread. Food here for the novice and for the experienced fly fisher.

This is a great book to refer to when trying to tie your own flies. It avoids getting too deep in the "bugology" and yet provides useful information. For someone like me who did not know many bugs started off in the water, this was both eye opening and entertaining. If I had to suggest an improvement I would suggest that the fly recipes be closer to the mentioning of the fly. In a few instances I would read about how a specific fly was very good to use in certain conditions but would then have to dig around to find a picture and recipe of what the author was talking about. It is a nit and not worthy of dropping this great work to four stats.
Love the book! January 10, 2007

Very well written, gave me (a novice) a lot of good information about what trout eat and where to find them. I especially liked the comparison with a real fly and then a picture of a tied fly. Great, I would recommend this to anyone novice or very experienced.
