WTF (Hatch Charts for Eastern Mayflies and Caddis)

Post by letumgo » Sat Jun 14, 2014 11:20 am

Last time I visited Roscoe I picked up a set of hatch charts for Eastern Mayflies and Caddis patterns. They are the most detailed hatch charts and insect descriptions I've seen (at least in an size intended for carry while fishing). The hatch charts were pulled together by Dr. Glenn Erikson.

Here are a couple photos from the WTF website, showing what they look like. Please note that these are only for the Caddis chart (front and back sides). The mayfly chart is separate and equally detailed.

I like the fact that all net proceeds, from the hatch chart sales, go to trout habitat improvement projects!

Very cool Hatch Charts. Terrible name of Organization. ;)
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Yeah, I got a kick out of their abbeviation (WTF). Wild Trout Flyrodder's is not the first thing that comes to mind when I see those letters. :D :lol:

On a serious note, is anyone here a member of the Wild Trout Flyrodder's organization? I was looking over their website and it looks like a nice organization. They seem to be heavily involved with the Catskill region fly fishing.

Ray, Howdy;

Neat charts, wonder if anyone has done anything like that
or in that kind of detail for the Western Rivers.
The moniker is easy to remember ... ;)
