1st of a new series - Covers all regions of Pennsylvania - 60 recommended fly patterns Meck and Weamer team up to provide a concise overview of the most important hatches on Pennsylvania trout streams. This handy guide includes detailed hatch charts, color photos of each insect, and recipes and photos of the authors' recommended fly patterns for each hatch. Individual entries provide essential information such as common and Latin names, size range (hook and natural), and time and date of emergence. The authors provide in-depth descriptions of all life stages of the insect, emergence time and date, behavior, tactics, and the premier streams in the state to find the best hatches. Meck's intimate knowledge of the hatches around the state combined with Weamer's penchant for the perfect pattern make this a must-have reference. Veteran author Charlie Meck and newcomer Paul Weamer have released their "Pocket Guide to Pennsylvania Hatches" as a handy reference for our most prolific fly hatches. This pocket sized hardcover published by Headwater Books is a 154 page compendium of angling knowledge.... Together these two friends have produced a volume worthy of any fly fisher who prowls Pennsylvania waters. I'll be carrying mine along to refresh my memory on the habits of those bugs I haven t encountered for a few seasons. When it's not in my truck, it will reside on my fly tying desk as a reminder for the patterns I should carry for each trip astream. --Mark Sturtevant, York Daily Record, February 22, 2009 Charles Meck is the author of more than 12 fly-fishing and fly-tying books.
