Charlie
Meck and Paul Weamer
team up to provide
a concise overview
of the most important
hatches on Pennsylvania
trout streams, including
mayflies, caddis,
stoneflies, midges,
as well as other
important trout-stream
foods. This handy
guide includes color
photos of each insect

authors' recommended
fly patterns for
each hatch. Detailed
charts at the beginning

an overview of the
life cycle of each
of the major classes
of insects, individual
entries provide
essential information
such as common and
Latin names, size
range (hook and
natural), and time
and date of emergence.
The authors provide
in-depth descriptions
of all life stages
of the insect, emergence
time and date, behavior,
tactics, and the
premier streams
in the state to
find the best hatches.
Meck's intimate
knowledge of the
hatches around the
