For Your Library/ Reading Enjoyment

While they may directed for streams in the East , or New England they are worth mentioning because of their accuracy, and exceptional detail.

The Thomas Ames book Hatch Guide, gives detail of hatches,dates, nymph stage, emergers, and the adult. The photos are in sharp color and easy to read. A lot of research went into this book and with its modest cost should be in your library.

It's highly detailed, easy to read, and great photos.

The book Trout Flies and Flowers is another well written and detailed book.
Its text tells of the flies that will be on the waters when certain flowers are in bloom. There are color photos of the flowers along with photos of the flies. It also has some other useful info such as where to fish the flies, riffles, pools, and in what water levels to fish them in.

I would reccomend these books. They're enjoyable and informative.



S.S. Reflections, "Good Books"

A wonderful easy reading book. Its a book I pick up and glance through many times.

The book contains many of James Prosek's beautiful watercolor paintings.

This is another good book. It takes you to a special cabin in Michigan's upper penisula.

While I spend a lot of my time outdoors, there are times when its not comfortable to do so. Thats when a good book will fill in some time.

These are two of my favorites. They are well written, with lots of facts, and beautiful photos and paintings. They are not part of the throngs of "How To" books but they are of real life stories that show us how wonderful fly fishing is.

With the Holidays coming soon perhaps you should consider putting one of these fine books on your list.
