Acknowledgments
Sincere thanks to David Detweiler, Dianne Russell, Donna Pope, Marti Evans, and the entire Stackpole team for their confidence in this second work.
To Paul Schullery, a new friend and much admired writer, many thanks for the foreword. It cost me a dozen Letort Crickets in addition to several guided fishing trips. His advice, suggestions, and counseling have been invaluable.
Thanks to Norm Shires for his continued contributions of photographic talent. He just keeps getting better and better.
I'm grateful to Rich Shires for his pen-and-ink fly-tying illustrations.
Thanks also to: Charlie Fox for thirty years of friendship and tutelage; Rod and Deb Bond of Art Unlimited for their book design; Ed Sutrin for his McMurray Ant pattern; Frank Angelo, long-time friend, master fly tier and angler, for the Para-ant pattern; Jack Mickevicz of Jack's Tackle, a long-time friend in the business and too infrequent companion, for his Live Body Beetle, Ant, and Inchworm patterns; Mike Schell, of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, one of Pennsylvania's finest young fly tiers, for his Grass Beetle pattern.

Foreword Something in the Water
One of my favorite anecdotes from fly-fishing history is Vincent Marinaro's discovery of the tiny insect life on Letort Spring Run. This happened more than half a century ago. After yet another day of frustration with the creek's trout, he put aside his rod and simply lay down on the grass, absently staring at the stream. After a while his eyes began to focus on the surface film, and he noticed that there was something in the water. There were many somethings, in fact: hordes of tiny flies floating along all unbeknownst to him and his colleagues. That moment, that instant of insight, has taken its place among the foremost perceptual milestones of American fishing history. He would not be entitled to cry Eureka! for yearshe still had to find a way to imitate those exasperatingly tiny thingsbut at once he knew what his challenge was, and that was a great part of the battle. It was a battle that, even then, Letort fishermen had been fighting for a long time.
