Hatch Charts
I noticed a few questions lately regarding when what bugs should be coming off the water. I thought I'd sticky a post where everyone can post some hatch charts to help everyone out.
I'll start out by adding this one from Orvis.
http://www.orvis.com/intro.asp?dir_id=758&subject=254
I like this one because it lists flies to imitate the bugs. Some of the links are to flies they have for sale but at least there is a picture to help you out. The rest have the recipe for the imitation.

Here's another that's pretty accurate for the AuSable and upper Manistee.

Hendricksons petering out. Go with BWO (always) Small Black caddis and starting to see some Sulpher Duns.  These flies will be good for about two weeks.

Gunrod,
Like the Orvis sight, the pictures and decriptions are a big help.
The Gates sight, gotta say I like the Alluminis Flottila pattern, hard to cast...LOL..but maybe a 15wt with a heavy leader....

Normally Dave but the rains this year have them off slightly. Looks like that might be corrected though. At least let's hope so.

While searching
While I was searching, I found this useful site: http://www.troutnut.com/
Did'nt see a hatch chart, but I thought it was worth sharing.

Good, inexpensive fly's, online
If you're not a fly tier, or don't have the time, try ordering from www.blueflycafe.com. Fly's average under $1.00 each, are good quality, arrive to your home quick, and they always throw in a couple freebies. Fly boxes and other essential trinkets are also available. I do tie all my flies, but sometimes it's easier to order from here, even to just have a quality fly to look at copy.

Charts are great!!! I had some luck on the upper manistee with Adams Parachutes, 14,16. Could have gone smaller. There were a lot of small white fly's. Does anyone know what specifically they were?
