by Dave Hughes

Everything you need to know to match any mayfly you'll ever encounter. Full color; 8.5x11 inches, 84 pgs.

Mayflies are the most important order of aquatic insects to those who fly fish for trout. In order to fish their hatches successfully, it is essential to understand their four important stages--nymphs, emergers, duns, and spinners--and to carry and know when to use the best fly patterns for each phase of this life cycle. Hughes has spent more than 30 years studying and photographing mayfly hatches, tying flies to match them, and honing presentation techniques to fish those ties. Now you can benefit from his vast on-stream knowledge.
