I got my copy of the 2010 West Country Rivers Trust Passport in the post today. Having a quick scan through it i came accros a mention of :
The Pocket Guide to Matching the Hatch by Peter Lapsley & Dr Cyril Bennett. I have checked on the Waterstones site and as far as i can make out it will be published on 14th April. It looks very impressive from the pictures i have seen of it. Does anyone know anything about this guide or know of a similar pocket guide.
Thanks
Ian

This guide is already available - early publishing date. Also available from Amazon at cheaper than Rrp.

Have a look here Ian.
Heads up!

Thanks for your help I don't like Amazon. By the time you add on the p&p its a lot more expensive. I will pop down to Waterstones in the morning and pick it up. Will let you know what i find.
Thanks again
Ian

Had my copy about a week and as a complete novice to entomology I find it very helpful. Some more experienced say it's not that great but I'm happy with it and it's a start for me.

What are the pictures in it like? I fancy getting an entymology guide to help with fly tying but most pictures seem to be from the side/above the fly, whichh is obviously useful for identification, but not much use for guiding tying.

I find the pictures ok and it also shows you actual size and give you pictures and list of patterns to match the hatch

I've received mine! But a little disappointed in the amount of pages in the "Book/Small Folder" especially for £7.99 + £3.50 postage! I like the content though!

That's where I bought mine Steven! Delivered price £11.49 and there's not a lot of it! But really interesting content!

I got mine for £5 odd with delivery at £2.00 and for the love of me I can't find the stupid website now. I'll keep searching.

Ye Gods! You gentlemen really need to at least consider Amazon . My book arrived a few days ago on a pre-order £5-99 with free postage.
By the way it's very informative and easy to read. Well worth the money.
