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.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE CHARTS:

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

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.
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 ...
