"This compact, little pocket book — the first ever to feature the natural insect next to its matching artificial fly — arms the angler with all the information he needs to select the right fly from his flybox.
- Superb photographs of aquatic insects (larvae, pupae, adults)
with the artificial flies positioned alongside them
- Times of hatching
- The geographical distribution
- Whether it is a river fly or a lake fly, or both
- Life cycles of the insects
- Clues from the river and from the trout's behaviour
