Review
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
Charlie Meck and Paul Weamer team up to provide a concise overview of the most important hatches on Pennsylvania trout streams, including mayflies, caddis, stoneflies, midges, as well as other important trout-stream foods. This handy guide includes color photos of each insect as well as recipes and photos of the authors’ recommended fly patterns for each hatch. Detailed charts at the beginning of each section provide a quick reference for emergence dates and size of the insects. After an overview of the life cycle of each of the major classes of insects, 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 book a must-have reference for anyone who fishes trout streams in the Keystone State.

John Barr is one of the best, most affable, and most innovative fly tiers in the United States today. We are fortunate to finally have his expertise in print. His flies will be used by all fly fishers who seek to improve their success onstream. –John Randolph, Fly Fisherman
In Barr Flies, John Barr shares his confidence patterns, the flies that he carries with him at all times to cover nearly every scenario an angler might encounter on the water. When used at an appropriate time with a good presentation, they are guaranteed to catch fish. Barr tells how he developed each fly, gives tips on when and how to fish them, and explains how he fishes multiple-fly rigs with the Copper John as the center of a 3-fly system that optimizes fish-catching potential. John Barr is the most successful designer of commercially distributed flies in the world. His Barr Emerger is an unrivaled pattern for western mayfly situations, and the Copper John has evolved into the most popular fly of the millennium.

Sylvester Nemes is singlehandedly responsible for the popularity of the soft-hackled fly in American fly fishing today. The Soft-Hackled Fly, Nemes’s first book, written in 1975, was the catalyst for the resurgence. Now revised with ten new chapters on tiny flies and full-color photos, Nemes shares colorful experiences at home and abroad, the history of the soft-hackled fly, and illustrated step-by-step instructions for tying the flies. He also describes his technique of fishing the flies.

One of America’s best known fishermen with more than 50 years of on-water experience, Bill Dance is also a tournament champion and a television personality. His tips will help any angler catch more and bigger fish. Even experienced fishermen may not know that dark-colored lures work best during low light conditions; that reluctant bass often bite at smaller lures fished slowly; that 75% of all line failures occur at the knot, so good knot tying is essential to success; that when waters rise, bass move shallower—when it falls, they move deeper. Dance’s knowledge is so wide-ranging that absolute beginners and crusty old veteran fishermen alike will be educated and entertained and amazed. This book is being supported by The International Game Fish Association (IGFA), a leading authority on angling and the keeper of fishing’s world record.

I was hooked,” writes author Dana Rikimaru, one of America’s leading fly fishing instructors, of her beginnings in this poetic sport. Filled with adventures and encouragement contributed by women who are already fly fishing, this woman-to-woman guide gives you everything you need to wade right in … to know where to go … what to take … and how to savor every moment of discovering a new sport. It even provides resources that can connect you with other women fly fishers. So whether you fly fish “to catch fish” (even if you release them to be caught another day) or because, as the author says, “trout live in beautiful places,” this guide is a woman’s path into a very special activity.
