Inhaltsangabe

The average fly fisher spends just 15.6 days per year on the water. Of course, few of us are fortunate enough to spend every day of every month casting into riffles, pools, and undercut banks in search of those finicky browns, brooks, rainbows, and cutthroats. Luckily, the diverse collection of gear in 365 Trout Flies provides some measure of solace to those legions of desk-bound fly fishers.
Presenting enough flies to span the year, expert fly fisherman John van Vliet offers suggestions for the spectrum of salmonids fly fishers are most likely to encounter as well as the breadth of locations—from small, pastoral chalk streams to forested, free-stone rivers. Each spread depicts a group of three flies along with materials recipes, captions from the author detailing how and where to fish them, and interesting related historical facts. For ease of reference, the book is organized into five categories covering each of the major fly types—nymphs, dries, wets, streamers, and terrestrials—and is illustrated throughout with exclusive macrophotography of the flies themselves. The front matter and section openers are illustrated with gorgeous, scenic fly-fishing photos.
From traditional stalwarts like the Adams, Light Cahill, Royal Wulff, and Hare’s Ear Nymph to more modern twists like synthetic inchworms, sand-encased caddis emergers, and the Chernobyl ant, John van Vliet’s 365 Trout Flies functions as both a practical how-to guide for the fly enthusiast and a handsome collection highlighting the art of these faux-entomological wonders.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Hans Weilenmann, who has been tying flies for more years than he cares to remember, is familiar to many as a demonstration tier at fly-fishing shows, both in Europe and North America. His articles and reviews have featured in several books and magazines, including Fly Fisherman. In addition, Hans is an FFF master fly-casting instructor, EFFA master fly-casting instructor, and a member of the EFFA certification advisory board. His interests in fly-tying and macro photography, and his background in computing and networking, all came together in Flytier's Page, a website he created as a gallery of flytiers the world over and their patterns. Hans calls Amstelveen, The Netherlands, his home, and the world's rivers his stomping grounds.

John van Vliet (Hudson, WI) is the author of more than a dozen books and has fly fished throughout North America, New Zealand, Europe, Argentina, and Great Britain. John has spent more than 20 years in the outdoor writing, publishing, and retail industries, working with Orvis, Gander Mountain, and Sportsman's Warehouse.
