Extremely comprehensive book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is an excellent book. It is extremely comprehensive and will give you all the written details. I only wish it would have had actual photographs to compare what you encounter against. They may have avoided this on purpose since there can be so many variations for any given bug, but I still like to compare photos against what I've seen. But on the whole - great, unbelievably comprehensive book.
A classic in the making
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book, as noted by another reviewer, is first cousin in spirit to LaFontaine's classic Caddisflies. The material is well researched and takes the reader through the science, ultimately tying this information in with how to productively fish mayfly patterns. Having this volume on your shelf along with Caddisflies is a great start to building a serious angler's scientific library.
Fly fishing & Entomology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book by Malcolm Knopp and Robert Cormier is destined to be a fishing classic. The pair has provided research and usable information on maylfy identification, insect behavior during their life stages, imitative patterns and fishing technique pointers.I have modified my fishing techniques to match the behaviours noted in the book.I have also found it very useful in making flies that work on hard fished eastern waters.
Should become the definitive book on fishing Mayflies!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The first book I know of that combines practical entemology (geared specifically to the angler) with up-to-date patterns, and methods of fishing them. The nearest thing to it in spirit is "Caddisflies". Should be in every serious flyfisher's collection!
