This compact, little pocket book ? the first ever to feature the natural insect next to its matching artificial fly ? arms the angler with all the information he needs to select the right fly from his flybox.

? Superb photographs of aquatic insects (larvae, pupae, adults)

with the artificial flies positioned alongside them ? Times of hatching

? The geographical distribution ? Whether it is a river fly or a lake fly, or both ? Life cycles of the insects ? Clues from the river and from the trout?s behaviour

Peter Lapsley contributes regularly to Flyfishing & Flytying and is author of several fishing books. He is a qualified national game angling instructor.

Dr Cyril Bennett is one of the UK?s leading entomologists, specialising in river insects. His photographs of insects ? some never before captured on camera ? add a unique element to this book.
