skeet3t 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2021 There is a booklet written by a professor, University of Tennessee- Knoxville, that is an outstanding resource for the southern Appalachians. It is detailed so much that it gives the hatch, time of day, calendar, flies to match the hatch, searching flies, etc. It is the most comprehensive book I have ever seen. Looking for my copy. It's one of those things you see all the time but when you need it, you can't find it. Will look some more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
