Matching Major Eastern Hatches - New Patterns for Selective Trout

Matching Major Eastern Hatches - New Patterns for Selective Trout  by Henry Ramsay

Matching Major Eastern Hatches features over 120 new patterns to imitate nearly all of the common mayfly, caddisfly and stoneflies encountered on streams across the eastern United States as well as a chapter on imitating ants.  Some of the patterns are completely new, while others build on and modernize earlier themes with newer materials like CDC, biots and synthetic dubbings, fibers and films.  Each chapter begins by discussing the pattern and it's design and then moves into tying it step by step.  Each chapter concludes with a color picture and material list for species specific variations of the pattern design. The patterns include mayfly nymphs, emergers, cripples, duns spinners, caddis larva, pupa and adults, and stonefly nymphs and adults.  There are over 600 full color photos of the tying sequences and the insects discussed.
