The following are web links to some favorite fly fishing and aquatic entomology resources. Most are to businesses or institutions that supported the research for the Hatch Guide to New England Streams. Some were brought to my attention as a result of the book's publication. In many cases a shared interest has led to a close and valued friendship.
