 
Caddisflies (Hardcover)
by Gary LaFontaine ; 1994; paperback; 240pp; isbn 0941130983
Hailed as a classic almost as soon as it came out in the early 1980s, this combination of entomology and fly-fishing instruction puts a small insect--the caddis fly--under the microscope to help anglers get big results on the water. Misunderstood for years, LaFontaine explains why caddis should be an important part of any fly-fisher's arsenal of flies, and his arguments are very persuasive. reviewed: "Detail, detail, detail! No substitute for this book!, ...This book is where it started: and this is how a skillful observer of nature put his scientific skill to practical application...Caddis may well be the major trout food (heresy - cry the mayfly lovers) but Mr. LaFontaine has the primary research and the citations to scientific publications to back up his position. The definitive study of Caddisflies. I've owned it for years. . .and two years ago I was repeatedly skunked by a massive evening hatch of black micro-caddis on a lake in Oregon...

Gary LaFontaine can still change the world.." reviewed: "The finest angling entomology ever written., I'm sitting here looking at the fly fishing books in my collection. If I had to pick out the one that has helped me catch the most trout, it would be Caddisflies. This book, since its publication in the early 1980's, has changed the way people fly fish. Before it came out, caddisflies were a mystery. This is the most important insect on our trout streams, but fly fishermen were using the wrong flies and the wrong tactics -- and, to raise the frustration level even higher, they knew little about the basic life cycle..."
