About this title

Synopsis

This book describes a way of luring fish that few other fly-fishing books address in depth. It articulates an approach to fly-tying and fly-fishing based on the behavior of flies in the water and as the fish see them. Numerous watercolors give an aerial view of a river's currents, best angling approaches and techniques, overcoming obstacles, and fish holding spots, with their accompanying text these watercolors provide the fly-angler with an incredible amount of valuable information. Other topics include: characteristics of moving water; fly design; materials; a river's layers; stratification; fish species; sensory perceptions of fish; fly selection; fishing techniques; and more. You will be surprised at how much useful information this little book provides.
