ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2004). (2004) ND 1st edition reprint. 4to (192 x 238mm). Ppviii,231. Colour photographs throughout. Dark blue boards, spine titled in gilt. Very good copy in slightly used dust-wrapper. "When fishing gets tough, you might be tempted to use flashier flies, but Ed Engle has learned that small, sparsely dressed flies often work when nothing else will. With a little attention to tying the flies and fishing technique, you'll take trout on flies as small as 24, 28, and 30. Small flies have the support of legendary writers like vince Marinaro, Ed Koch, Arnold Gingrich, and Darrel Martin, and Engle has deftly covered the small-fly history of how and why these flies have developed." The bulk of the book is, of course, about understanding and tying small flies. Chapters include: Small fly history; Small-fly hooks and tying tools; Hanging by a thread; A little flash; Wired; Getting down - weight for small flies; Midge larvae and midge pupae; Midges on top and in the surface film; Olives; Tiny parachutes; Tricos; Floating nymphs; Microcaddis; Microscuds; Tiny ants; Tiny, simple, old, new, and effective small-fly patterns; Guide's choice; Poor man's CDC; 32s! .…

Taking trout on lightweight rods with flies as small as size 20 and 30 is a challenge. Learn to imitate midges' trailing shucks and drowned adults, tie tiny parachutes and white-winged Tricos, and create patterns that mimic microcaddis and micro scuds. Engle covers small-fly history, tying tools, and materials. Tips on fishing techniques come from Ed Engle's 30 years of experience fishing small flies on the South Platte River.
