I don't want to start another discussion on whether we fly fishermen need to know the scientific name of the bugs we try to imitate. But I have found that I have become a better fisherman knowing much more than I did about the habitat and behavior of these bugs. Finding this kind of information usually requires using the scientific name in searches, especially for technical data. Problem is ..... I can't pronounce the names (many not even close) and I want to be able to do so. So I am wondering - does anyone out there know a source for a phonetic pronunciation guide to aquatic insects? Ideally it would include the common name, scientific name, and the phonetic pronunciation (suggested anyway) of the scientific name.
