Summary: An excellent resource!
Review: I carry this little jewel with me everytime I fish. The color photos are a real boon when trying to match the indigenous insect to its name. I would recommend this book to any flyfisherman/woman, and anyone interested in entomology. Jim Scholmeyer is unsurpassed in his skill as a photographer. Tight Lines!

Summary: Extremely well done!
Review: I found this book to be a tremendously informative "quick look" guide that cross references natural and artificial flies on western streams. Its text and color photos are excellent guides to both stream and stillwater entomology.

Summary: A must buy if you want to understand what you are doing...
Review: I have had this little book for a few years, in addition to my collection of other fly pattern and aquatic insect books -- if you only need one book this it. I keep going back to the Hatch Guide for Western Streams since it is clear, concise, yet has plenty of useful information. Not only on which bugs to look for, and how to tie them, but also on where in the water to find them and the types of water they like. Reading, or comfortably skimming through this book will definetly help your trout fishing. I like it so much I am looking to buy a second copy, hopefully a waterproof paper version that I believe is still in print? This is a GREAT little book with accurate information and good tips. Think of it as a fly pattern book, an insect book, and a fly-fishing methodology/presentation book -- all topics covered perfectly and in a nice little package. The spiral bound version is nice when tying with the book open.
