Selective Trout - Softcover

Trout are picky about their food and difficult to catch on a fly, so success with these fish depends on choosing the proper fly and presentation".Like a college degree for trout fishermen". -- Art Flick

Today's trout are becoming more and more "selective," harder to catch - and no wonder: they are presented with an endless variety of flies by growing numbers of fishermen. But the authors of Selective Trout maintain that the real reason fly fishermen fail is that they do not present the right fly - and here is their solution. It is a clear, down-to-earth presentation of some startling new ideas about fly fishing for trout - ideas that break with tradition but which have now proven their value to thousands of fishermen. Along with full descriptions of their famous new No-Hackle and Paradun patterns, you'll find a hatching chart covering the entire country, complete information on how to fish the "super hatches" of mayflies, and the latest word on streamside strategy, night fishing, feeding habits, and much more. It's the new "bible" for fly fishermen; all predictions have been proven true. You can't afford to fly-fish for trout without having read this book!
