Is this the best book out there on the subject? Any recommendations?

Had a Stonefly siting on my shoulder on Friday which was easily 1 3/4" long - don't know much about these things.

Iain,

It is a good book but probably a bit elementary for you, I recommend it to beginners although there are some nice photos in there.  You would probably get more out of a copy of Goddards "Waterside Guide".


Cheers

I have a copy of "Matching the Hatch" you can have if you want.

Thanks for that guys.
 
Jim I'll let you know as If I need to buy the 'Waterside Guide' (or is it Waterside Ghillie? ) off of the Net then I'll get both.

Another book you might like to check before you decide which to purchase,
THE FLY FISHERMAN'S ENTOMOLOGICAL PATTERN BOOK by John Cawthorne
I have found it very usful when tying realistic patterns.

Will have a look out for that one too Alex.

An excellent book that may be of interest to you is J R Harris's, Anglers Entomology
This book is now over 50 years old but, in my opinion, is still as relevant to todays anglers as it was when it was first published
