Phonetic pronunciation guide

[smokeybaum@comcast.net]

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.

Hi Smokey and welcome to the site. For may flies, get "Hatches 2" by Al Caucci and the late Bob Nastasi. there is a phonetic guide there which will help you.

I have a copy of Hatches II and it is indeed helpful. From what I have learned from the book I can more or less come close with other order names etc. I am especially interested in caddis and damsel families. While I have plenty of references for scientific names of caddis and damsels, saying them correctly is another matter.

Thanks for your reply. Smokeybaum

There is a book which unfortunately sells for around 600. on amazon.com the name of which escapes me which has a broader binary nomenclature chart for phonetic "translations"
