Pattern Hatching

Patterns, Hatches, Tactics, and Trout

Leading distributor of fly fishing books lists this title as it's #3 BEST SELLER for 1995. Revolutionary new tactics that catch more trout. Testimonials from fly fishers who have increased their catch by 3 or 4 times. These simple tactics have many first time fly fishers catching trout on their first attempt, including one 7 year old. Choosing which artificial fly to use is a problem common to most fly fishers. The title sorts through the 10,000 possible fly patterns & reduces them to the top 75 (in full color), with one overriding criteria in mind - do they catch trout over a wide range of waters? The emergence phase of the mayfly life-cycle is easiest for the trout to feed on, but the hardest for fly fishers to imitate. Now, for the first time in any book, shuck colors & emerger patters for all major hatches are revealed. Plenty of new information: lunker trout love sunken spent spinners, new patterns that fool even the fussiest trout. Charles Meck is the author of four other widely acclaimed books, & hundreds of national magazine articles on fly fishing.

More and more software developers are recognizing the supreme usefulness of design patterns and how they ease the design and delivery of software applications. This book builds upon the information presented in the seminal work in this field, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software, and gives software professionals the information they need to recognize and write their own patterns. Pattern Hatching, written by one of the co-authors of Design Patterns, truly helps the software professional apply one of the most popular concepts in software development.
