Art Flick's New Streamside Guide to Naturals and Their Imitations

This book is probably the best book ever written in regards to streamside insects hatchs and life cycles. Art goes into great detail listing the type of insect their life style and life cycle. It goes so far as to estimate the time of day a hatch will occur. Excellent book for the trout angler. It does give some insight as to fly patterns but mostly it explains the insects, how trout feed on the and why. Highly recommended, and i can see alot of field time and work went into this book. It wasn't written by someone that doesn't spend alot of time on the stream. The size lends it to a take along book. The original published book in a leather slip cover list for $150.00 in the Orvis catalog. Its a great buy.
