# "The imitation of terrestrials is not in itself a new idea: grasshoppers, ants and other nonaquatic insects have brought anglers success for centuries. But only recently have these flies begun to form a major part of the fly fisher's arsenal. The modern 'terrestrial movement' started in the late 1940's on the limestone rivers of south-central Pennsylvania and has spread throughout the world. Ed Koch, a major contributor to the development of the new terrestrials, shares a wealth of information on the patterns - how they came about, how to tie them, and how to use them to take trout." Chapters include: The Jassid; The Japanese Beetle; Ants; The Letort Hopper; The Cricket; Other terrestrials; A nine-pounder; Tackle; Limestoners and freestoners; Charles K. Fox - his influence.
