Synopsis
Thomas Ames' Guide Offers Stunning Photography and Essential Fly-Fishing Insights
More than two decades since the first publication of his influential and highly sought-after guide to matching New England insect hatches, Thomas Ames Jr. has expanded its scope to include trout and salmon fisheries throughout the eastern United States. This updated volume examines how hatch-matching patterns and techniques have evolved in the 21st Century to meet the changing and challenging conditions of our Eastern rivers and streams. The Pocket Guide to Eastern Hatches provides easy-to-follow pattern recipes, detailed descriptions, and illuminating photographs of both the natural insects and their artificial imitations.

About the Author
Thomas Ames Jr. was a commercial photographer for the thirty years leading up to the publication of his Hatch Guide For New England Streams. In addition to numerous magazine articles he wrote and photographed two more books: Fishbugs: The Aquatic Insects of an Eastern Fly Fisher; and Caddisflies: A guide to Eastern Species for Anglers and Other Naturalists. Tom then became certified in Elementary Education and began a rewarding second career as a teacher of math, science, reading, and writing to fifth graders, earning his Masters degree in Education at the age of 60. Trout in the Classroom and assessing water quality in the nearby Mascoma River watershed were an integral component of his science curriculum. Thomas lives with his wife of 39 years in Norwich, Vermont within casting range of the Connecticut, White, Mascoma, Ottaquechee, and Ompompanoosuc Rivers.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. New England's streams, and the insects and fish that inhabit them, have their own unique qualities. Their flowing waters support an amazing diversity of insect species from all of the major orders-in fact, at last count, Maine, alone, has 162 species of mayflies, the most of any state. Few, if any, books deal with the insects and life stages specific to New England, until now. Thomas Ames explores the insects of New England. Ames covers reading water; presentations for New England streams; tackle; night fishing; and more. The bulk of this book, however, deals with the insects and the best flies to imitate them. Tom's color photography of the naturals and their imitations is superb, making this book as beautiful as it is useful. A must for all New England fly-fishers! Seller Inventory # LU-9780811775960
