This compact, little pocket book features images of the natural insect next to its matching artificial fly and is a great tool for anglers as they prepare to hit the water. 

The guide offers: 

• 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
