Just new to fly fishing. Is there a introductory book regarding entomology and just entomology that takes the reader from very basic to a deeper
understanding. I am reading Ray Bergman's Trout and he assumes a basic knowledge of all the various naturals and their various forms. I've read the
Orvis introduction to fly fishing, Heck's Spring Creek Strategies and bought Sweibert's Nymphs I/II but think it might be too advanced. It doesn't
have to be written in the modern period as I do enjoy Bergman's style and description when there was less intrusion of the Modern world than there is now.

I'd consider Schwiebert's Matching the Hatch, Caucci & Nastasi's Hatches II or Swisher & Richards Selective Trout. These are the books I use as
references most often for mayflies. For caddisflies, LaFontaine's Caddisflies or Solomon & Leisers
The Caddis And The Angler are good.

In addition to the classic titles listed by EP some other resources in the study of angling entomology include:
"Caddis Super Hatches- Hatch Guide for the United States"- Richards & Braendle
"Mayflies, The Angler And The Trout"- Fred Arbona
"Mayflies, An Angler Study of Trout Ephemeroptera"- Malcolm Knopp & Robert Cormier
"Mayflies" - Ted Fauceglia (for its wonderful macro color photographs)
"Stoneflies"- Carl Richards, Doug Swisher & Fred Arbona
"Stoneflies for the angler"- Eric Leiser & Robert Boyle
"Aquatic Entomology"- Patrick W. McCafferty (wonderful watercolors of specimens)
"Introduction to the Aquatic Insects of North America"- R.W. Merritt & K.W. Cummins (college text for entomologists)
All are excellent readings for the aspiring angling entomologist. The bottom two titles are the most academic of the list in material presentation. |

Also, Charles E. Brooks' Nymph Fishing for Larger Trout has some great info on insect behavior.

Can't go wrong with 'Art Flick's Streamside Guide to Naturals and their Imitations.'
Plenty of cheap used copies available here: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=art+flick&sts=t&tn=streamside+guide&x=0&y=0 We few We happy few We bamboo brothers |

Dave Whitlock's Guide to Aquatic Trout Food. This is a very basic book - easy to understand - a great introduction. It takes you through the
life cycles of each of the major insects - Mayflies, Caddis, Stone flies, Midges. It also talks about Sow Bugs and a few others. Its also readily available.
