Reviews for Matching the Hatch
When it comes to choosing a book to learn about the bugs we see on the river, their environment and flies we can tie to replicate them there is no finer book than Pat O Reilly’s Matching the Hatch….There are few books I can think of that are must-haves but this is certainly one of them.
Pete Tyjas, Eat Sleep Fish
This is the new, updated edition, profusely illustrated. Keep it in the car, by the bedside or in your fishing bag; it’s a must for any angler’s collection.
BASC Shooting and Conservation Magazine
You don’t need to be an expert to use this book as it is handily laid out to give those of us still learning the basics a head-start on fly choice in section 1, but you may well end up being one once you get stuck into all the glorious photography of the wild insects and the artificial fly patterns in the following sections. I couldn’t help myself but flick backwards and forwards through the book, wondering to myself if I had seen that beetle before or that particular colour sedge?
Fish and Fly
…the book features all the same valuable information and remarkable photography as the first edition, but with 20 years’ more experience for Pat to draw from.
