How long have you wished you could identify hatching insects while youre still fishing? Now you can! Hatchpedia is Your Pocket Entomologist.

Hatchpedia makes precisely identifying hatching insects fast and easy. Our patent-pending search technology lets you describe the bugs that you are seeing using your own words. Its like a pocket-sized aquatic entomologist that speaks your language.

BACKCOUNTRY-READY
Hatchpedia is completely functional with no cell service or internet, with a grace period of up to 2 weeks past your next subscription renewal date.
You will never need to scramble up a hill hoping to find a bar or two of cell service - heck, you wont even have to leave the water no matter where your adventures take you.

SEARCH BY EXAMPLE
Sometimes words are hard. Use our graphical Search by Example feature to build up search phrases that describe the bug that you see.

CURATED PHOTOS OF ALL PHASES
Hatchpedia has photos of all of the phases of the bugs lifecycles that are important to trout. Weve pored over thousands of photos and painstakingly selected over 1,000 photos that we have licensed to help you identify the bug you are seeing with the greatest certainty possible.

DETAILED INFORMATION
Every search result gives you detailed information about the bug including: the common name, how confident we are in the search result and why, the complete taxonomy, the approximate size of the adult, what U.S. geographic regions it is known to hatch in, and the approximate dates that it hatches. In addition, every phase of every bug has a "Learn about this phase" feature that gives you a summary of the bugs lifecycle and details about the specific phase.

FROM SIMPLE TO COMPLEX PHRASES
Hatchpedias search engine is custom-built and entomology-specific (patent pending). We support searches in your own words from very simple keywords to complex phrases. A very simple description of a bug might be simply upright wing or upright wing 1/2 inch body, while a more complex description might be upright yellow mottled wing 12mm light yellow body 2 tails. Our search feature doesnt require you to enter quotes or any other special characters as it works hard to figure out complex phrase combinations and match them against a huge database of entomological data with over 520 species that trout love to eat.

USE CURRENT LOCATION AND/OR DATE
Hatchpedia can use your current location and/or date to find bugs that are hatching around you *now*.

PLAN TRIPS
You can specify a region within the United States as well as a date in order to find bugs that will be hatching whenever and wherever your fishing trip will take you!

HATCHPEDIA FREE
You can also use Hatchpedia free of charge to learn more about the lifecycles and behaviors of the bugs that trout love to eat.
