 
Mayflies (Hardcover)
by Ted Fauceglia; 2005; paperback; 192pp; isbn 0811701271
Everything on Eastern and Midwestern mayfly hatches, from the most outstanding photographs of every stage to descriptions and common and Latin names and pattern information, is included in this comprehensive book. Each chapter shows and describes the mayfly’s stages of development from nymph through spinner and lists patterns and photos of imitations that match each stage. Two photographic essays show in fascinating detail an emerging Blue Quill dun and a molting Yellow Drake dun. A breadth of information that includes a natural history of mayflies is matched with Ted Fauceglia's phenomenal photography. The book covers all of the major Eastern and Midwestern mayfly hatches and serves as an outstanding, detailed, full-color photographic reference for the fly fisher and fly tier. reviewed: Spectacular photography, "This is a perfect gift for a maniacal fly fisherman, the kind of guy that checks out the spiderwebs by the side of the creek to see what bugs have been hatching. The photographs of the various mayflies in different stages of their life cycles are absolutely, jaw-dropping spectacular. The accompanying text is mercifully light on the Latin taxonomy, but contains just the right amount of natural history. As a plus, some examples of flies imitating nymphs, duns and spinners are included at the end of each chapter, along with material info. Of course, they're well photographed, too. A few tips about fishing the hatches and spinner falls are tossed in as well. OK, so if you know what I'm talking about, you want this book. One caveat - the author lives in PA, so it's mostly about Eastern mayflies."
