Another good book from Ed Engle, this time giving advice for catching trout on those days when they just don't want to play along. "What do you do when your usual tactics don't work, when your dependable flies let you down, when the water's acting funny? What do you do when your best attempts to match the hatch and make drag-free-drift presentations fail? Ed Engle has been a staple of Rocky Mountain West fishing for many years and has found the best solutions to challenges that vex fly anglers everywhere. He shares what he has learned in straightforward, no-nonsense lessons for finding and taking even the toughest trout. From techniques to try when the river is dirty to tips on using familiar fly patterns in unusual ways, Engle breaks down the unique strategies he has developed over the years. He may add a lift to the end of a dead drift to induce a strike. He may fish spent spinners as attractors. He may try a new take on a classic technique like the Fothergill nymphing technique and Leisenring Lift or experiment with something more cutting-edge like Czech nymphing. Engle shows how he has let go of preconceived notions to allow the trout and the river to inform his fishing. And he shares these simple, easy-to-pick-up lessons so you can turn an otherwise uneventful day on the water into a success." Chapters include:- Nymphing; Attractor flies; Tight-line tactics; Meadow streams; Catching difficult trout; High-water strategies; Small-stream finesse; Oddities. .
