T. T. Macan — Freshwater Biological Association
A classic work of British freshwater entomology, devoted to the identification and ecology of mayfly nymphs.
Written by the distinguished freshwater biologist T. T. Macan, this specialist publication provides systematic identification keys to the nymphal stages of British mayflies, supported by detailed scientific illustrations and observations on their ecology.
Mayflies have occupied a central place in the history of fly fishing, from the earliest entomological observations of the nineteenth century to the development of increasingly accurate artificial fly patterns.
For the thoughtful trout fisherman, the study of aquatic insects offers a deeper understanding of the river and the life upon which trout depend. The ability to distinguish between different species and stages of development has particular relevance to traditional nymph fishing and the selection of suitable artificial patterns.
Published by the Freshwater Biological Association as Scientific Publication No. 20, Macan's work is both a practical identification guide and an interesting document of the development of modern freshwater biology.
A specialist addition to a collection of angling entomology, particularly appealing alongside the works of Alfred Ronalds, G. E. M. Skues and other writers concerned with the relationship between aquatic insects and trout fishing.Entomological key to nymphs of British mayflies.
