“’Dry Fly Entomology’ by Frederic M. Halford, published in London in 1897, was the inspiration for ‘Mayflies of the Driftless Region’. Halford, the Victorian innovator and popularizer of modern fly-fishing, scientifically described and surveyed the principal British mayflies of his time, but he did not claim his work as a comprehensive entomological treatise. Instead, ‘Dry Fly Entomology’ was aimed at providing anglers with a basic, working understanding of the nature of aquatic insects. ‘Mayflies of the Driftless Region’ can make no such claim: it is not a field guide. Instead, it is a study of mayflies by an artist....
I have created 13 depictions of mayflies, color wood engravings with each hue printed from a separate block of end-grain maple. These images are the result of careful microscopic study of specimens collected from streams near my home in rural Wisconsin” (Schanilec).|
