Caddisflies, Selective Trout, and Hatches II are good places to start. Beyond that, you'd have to give more detail about what you're looking for.

Jeff-
Perhaps you would find Entomology Bookshelf, an article I wrote for Hatches Magazine, will help you to compare them.

Thanks for the info, I have been tying for many years and have wanted to start learning more when I'm turning over rocks so that I can determine what bugs are what. So any kind of information would work. thanks again.. this is a great site to learn from to..

It's a little out of date (1981), but Aquatic Entomology, by W. P. McCafferty, has some excellent pictures and an easy-to-use key to families.

"NATURALS" COVERS IT ALL PRETTY GOOD, NOT A LOT OF PRETTY PICTURES, JUST GOOD ENTOMOLOGY.
