It’s one of the best fly fishing books period. It offers an immeasurable amount of information about fly fishing by a true expert at his craft. I personally believe being able to read a streams layout is the most important aspect to fishing period, let alone stream fishing. This book is one of the best resources toward picking out the best areas of a stream or river to fly fish for trout.

A Seasonal Guide: Fly Fishing for Trout

Fly fishing can vary greatly during different seasons.

This guide focuses heavily on what to look for during different seasons and weather changes, to help you succeed in locating those prized trophy trout.

Spring Fly Fishing Tactics:

Quick running, often times dangerously fast streams offer some of the most challenging, but rewarding conditions.

During the early spring, the water level in rivers and streams is higher than any other season. Resulting in faster and stronger currents, so you want to be safe and alert. Let us emphasize, being safe and alert should always be your top priority. Being careless is dangerous to you and others around you.
