Flyfishing Alaska
Fishbugs: The Aquatic Insects of an Eastern Flyfisher (Hardcover)
by Thomas Ames ; 2005; paperback; 144pp; isbn 0881506753

Following the success of his first book, hailed as "the most useful book for eastern fly fishers since Art Flick's Streamside Guide," author Thomas Ames Jr. lets his photographic skills take center stage. His bigger-than-life studies of mayflies, caddisflies, and other waterborne insects, captured in extraordinary detail, allow you see them as never before. Fly tyers will appreciate them as models for their imitations, while naturalists and other lovers of nature photography admire them for their intrinsic beauty. His thoughtful prose examines the special characteristics that keep these fascinating insects at the heart of the angler's gentle art and underscores their value as indicators of the health of our inland waters. Full-color throughout.

reviewed:  This is a book that belongs in every advanced fly fishing/tying library
"the photos of common mayflies, caddis and stoneflies are outstanding. The text is anecdotal and interesting, but could have been expanded to include hatch dates, fly sizes, more on variations (like the many body colors of psuedocloeon on teh Housatonic R.). A very nice companion to Mayflies by Fauceglia, also a recent excellent pictorial book."
