Fly Fishing & Trout Entomology Books
.gif)
Entomology is
the study of aquatic insects. You know, those insects that trout
eat while you're out fly fishing. As such, anyone who enjoys fly
fishing should at least understand the basics of trout entomology
since you're imitating the bugs that trout eat when fly fishing.
One can literally
spend a lifetime attempting to understand the basics of entomology
and aquatic insects - and many of the entomology books shown below
are a result of years and years of research and study. While beginner
anglers will be better off learning how to better cast, read water
and just know the different cycles in hatches, intermediate and
advanced anglers who want to take their fly fishing to a new level
should seriously consider investing in one of these trout entomology
books. By learning more about what trout eat, it is inevitable that
your fly fishing will improve.

This fly fishing entomology book - which is the fruit
of ten years of intensive study - introduces new, tested,

careful study of the indicators that signal either emergence
or egg-laying and there is instruction on the different
ways fish feed on each stage.

Book
Description from Amazon.Com
More than fifty years ago, Vincent Marinaro's Modern
Dry-Fly Code was hailed as "the best angling work
of the last half century" and "the first original
American contribution to fly-fishing."
Marinaro's
approach is nothing short of revolutionary. His startling
high-speed color photographs explore the feeding patterns
and behavior of the trout, revealing unsuspected responses
that the fisherman can exploit with new tactics and
new fly patterns. In addition, he provides a novel and
unique way of testing fly patterns, the "game of
nods"; a fresh look at rod design; new revelations
about the spinner; an expanded treatment of his pathbreaking
study of the Caenis; and further explorations with terrestrials.
There is also a special discussion of limestone and
freestone rivers..

Book
Description from Amazon.Com
Trout is arguably the finest single volume ever produced
on how, why, and where to catch trout. In spite of being
originally published in 1938 (Penn Publishing Company),
it remains utterly relevant.
