| Posts: 76 | by Ralph Cutter? I forget where the thread is but a few people were talking about how they have fished for some time and want to learn more about insects, etc. I read this book a while ago and found it valuable. It isn't too scientifically deep to lose the average Joe but at the same time it is plenty instructive and informative. I know there are some serious bug guys here and their knowledge is well beyond the book but I thought it was well done for it's audience. any thoughts? | |

My impression of those articles is that he has spent considerable time studying the behavior of aquatic insects, and that he does a good job of conveying that pertinent and very interesting information to the flyfishing reader. | |
