Fly-fisher's Handbook (The Complete Book)

This is a guide for fly-fishers detailing natural flies, their habitats and life histories. Included is a 36-page month-by-month hatch guide charting the natural baits showing where and when they can be found. The author, a biologist and lifelong angler, then moves on to the artificial variety, explaining which materials to use and which methods to employ for tying and presenting them. The text is illustrated by an entomological artist.
