Where did you find the charts you posted or does home-spun mean you put them together yourself? I'm trying to find something more detailed, like the ones you posted, for South Platte/Eleven-mile.
This is my own work. I developed master charts for east and west in Excel and then cut down/tweak as necessary based on information I glean from fly shop sites, published hatch charts, and macroinvertebrate studies... the latter being the most reliable source of information by far. I continue to whittle away at them based on personal experience (fly fishing and seining).
I usually only go this length for rivers that I fish somewhat regularly. A lot of secondary hatches get over-looked on published charts, or they lump together caddisflies as "various kinds" (yeah, that's helpful). I get to Almont, CO once or twice annually so I've been chipping away at these three for a couple years now.
I'm really surprised the South Platte doesn't have quality charts readily available being such a high profile fishery.

There might be some better charts out there but the ones I have found in cursory searches all have like 5 options of "various kinds". As you said, not very helpful. I'll keep digging as somebody has to have a better chart out there.
Still, great looking chart.
hi Larry, the 8 rivers in wy, hatch chart didn't come up. Thank you. I"m interested hatches on the wind river and the bighorn should you know them. Thank you.

Flyfisher's Guide to Colorado by Marty Bartholomew has charts for the rivers and lakes he covers. Which is a lot in the 512 pages.
