mauser.....you're killin' me here!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

OK.....First off , there is no such thing as a &quot;Hatch Chart&quot; for PA......

Hatches vary from region to region, stream to stream. What might be hatching full force on one stream may be non-existant in a stream on the other side of the hill.
There are so many factors which determine hatches present.......substrate,water PH and Temp, pollution etc. etc.

The best thing to do is determine what streams specifically you will be fishing......and when.
Then contact a local shop to find out what hatches are present.

The best thing you could do for yourself right now if you are very serious about flyfishing for trout and &quot;Matching the Hatch&quot; is purchase one book...........&quot;HATCHES II&quot; by Caucci and Nastasi.
This book describes in detail with pictures , measurements, and patterns for basically any mayfly you'll find east and west. GREAT BOOK.

Oh......and don't forget Caddisflies, Stoneflies and Midges. hehehehe......have fun!

You are heading down the road to a very addicting and time consuming hobby my friend. Be careful
