Still Water Fly Fishing for Trout by Chris James

Still Water Fly Fishing for Trout by Chris James

Still-water fly fishers face two challenges: to develop their basic skills and knowledge - such as casting, locating feeding trout, interpreting rise form behaviour, spotting and even anticipating insect hatches; and to keep up with innovations in tackle and tactics. This book covers the best of modern fly fishing practice, including some less orthodox techniques the author has developed. Trout feeding behaviour, a new analysis of rise forms, and entomology, are also included. Insect identification is simplified, the timing of insect hatches and the details of insect behaviour which make them vulnerable to trout foraging are explained and tackle requirements and the angler's skills are also examined. Chris James takes readers through the whole fishing season, catching fish on waters of various types and covering all the trout feeding problems the fly fisher will meet and must deal with, from bank and boat.
