"An Angler’s Guide to Aquatic Insects and Their Imitations" helps you identify the insects that trout and other fish feed on in streams and lakes across the country. This fully illustrated guide leads you step by step through the identification process. Then, after you make an indentification, you’ll find a list of fly patterns that match the natural, supplemented by information about the insect’s life cycle, habitat preferences, and specific flyfishing tactics to help you imitate its behavior. 
The information in this book will help you solve the most basic flyfishing problem—finding out what the fish are feeding on and being able to match the insect and its behavior in the water. Best of all, no prior knowledge of entomology is required to use this guide. All you need to start is an aquarium net, a pair of tweezers, a few vials, the white lid off a pickle jar, and a desire to become a more knowledgeable, more successful flyfisher.

Birders from across the country and around the world come to Rocky Mountain National Park every year to find white-tailed ptarmigan, black swifts, northern pygmy-owls, and other high-elevation specialties of the Rockies. In "Birding Rocky Mountain National Park," author Scott Roederer provides a close-up look at eight of the best birding areas in the popular national park. Applying his thirty years of birding experience in "Rocky," Roederer dedicates an entire chapter to each area, offering unprecedented detail in describing where to park, where to walk, what species to expect, and much more. 
Want to find that white-tailed ptarmigan? The guide identifies specific locations to look for it, describing not only when and where to go but even how to walk the area in its specilized habitat to best find this elusive bird. Need a black swift for your life list? Forget the arduous hike usually recommended for this hard-to-find species; Roederer knows where to find them roadside in an area of the park not covered in other guides. 
The book reveals the best times to visit Rocky Mountain National Park, and it also includes valuable information on trip planning. There’s even a chapter covering nearby briding areas, including one local hot spot where 227 species have been recorded. The author concludes with a species-by-species birdfinding guide, with information on when and where to find each species, including special tips for difficult-to-locate birds. Maps show each area in detail and beautiful illustrations by Estes Park artist Scott Rashid further enliven this indispensable guide. 
"Rocky Mountain National Park has world-class birding, but you have to know just where to go. On my own past visits I have relied on the phenomenal knowledge of Scott Roederer; and with this book in hand, you can too. Scott’s presentation is detailed, authoritative, in-depth, and essential. No birder or naturalist should visit the park with out this book." —Kenn Kaufman
