Trout and the Stream

The Trout and the Stream presents a far-reaching approach to practical trout fishing and better trout-stream conservation. It offers one of the most comprehensive treatments ever written on life in running water, the needs of trout, and advanced fly-fishing techniques. One chapter describes 10 different methods of nymph fishing, others discuss tackle, floating flies, and special equipment; there is also a detailed study of stream ecology, water chemistry, trout habitat, management, and proven conservation practices. The book shows the true meaning of an ecological system involving the trout and the waters in which it lives. This thoughtful book can improve one's trout fishing - and our trout streams; its practical, authoritative approach has made it a classic in its field.
