riverfisher99 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2006 Could anyone possibly recommend a pictureful(not sure if that is even a word) book that would cover the fishing specific bugs of the northwest? Thanks for any insight, Shawn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harold Ray 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2006 "Aquatic Entomology: The Fishermen's Guide and Ecologists' Illustrated Guide to Insects and Their Relatives (Crosscurrents) (Crosscurrents)" W. Patrick McCafferty; Paperback; $86.95 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/086720017...6889503?ie=UTF8 I took an all day entomolgy class today at the Convocation of the Southern Region of the Federation of Fly Fishers in Mountain Home, Arkansas, and this is the book the prof, a retired oral surgeon who has spent the last few years going to 4 major universities to monitor entomology classes so he can learn the aquatic insects of different regions of the country so he can better fish those areas. He stays a semester or two at each school; his wife thinks he's nuts! I bought the book right after class. Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taxon 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2006 Shawn- Aquatic Entomology by McCafferty is a wonderful book, but may be a bit of an overkill for your stated needs. As an alternative, I would recommend Hatch Guide For Western Streams by Jim Schollmeyer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
