 THE HATCH GUIDE

An angler's guide to the important aquatic insects of Michigan trout streams - Emergence Schedule, Detailed Descriptions, Fishing Strategies, and recommended Fly Selections, by John Oberlatz (illustrated by Dan Freeman)

 

 

 

 

 

A JOINT FUNDRAISING PROJECT OF THE LEON P MARTUCH CHAPTER OF TROUT UNLIMITED AND THE ANGLERS OF THE AU SABLE.

"John Oberlatz's "The Hatch Guide" is an island of clarity in the often murky waters of aquatic insect identification.  From spring's early stoneflies the late summer's Ephoron leukon, Oberlatz uses a basic formula nymph/larva-emerger-adult-spinner descriptions to help the angler recognize significant hatches in Midwestern rivers and streams.  Here is meaningful information (and fly patterns) for the beginner and expert alike, information that can also be helpful to anglers in all of the Midwestern states.  Best of all, profits from the sale of the books go back into the environment of fly fishing - through TU and The Anglers of the Au Sable."

- Tom Helgerson

The hatch guide consists of the spiral bound book covering, in chronological order, the hatches in Michigan.  The book has a full page on each insect including the recommended fly to imitate that insect in that portion  of the life cycle.

 

The compliment to this is the vest guide.  This waterproof guide list the same hatches and includes basic descriptions of major species.
