Patterns, Hatches, Tactics, and Trout
Author: Charles R. Meck
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Leading distributor of fly fishing books lists this title as it's #3 BEST SELLER for 1995. Revolutionary new tactics that catch more trout. Testimonials from fly fishers who have increased their catch by 3 or 4 times. These simple tactics have many first time fly fishers catching trout on their first attempt, including one 7 year old. Choosing which artificial fly to use is a problem common to most fly fishers. The title sorts through the 10,000 possible fly patterns & reduces them to the top 75 (in full color), with one overriding criteria in mind - do they catch trout over a wide range of waters? The emergence phase of the mayfly life-cycle is easiest for the trout to feed on, but the hardest for fly fishers to imitate. Now, for the first time in any book, shuck colors & emerger patters for all major hatches are revealed. Plenty of new information: lunker trout love sunken spent spinners, new patterns that fool even the fussiest trout. Charles Meck is the author of four other widely acclaimed books, & hundreds of national magazine articles on fly fishing. Order: VIVID PUBLISHING, INC., POB 1572, Williamport, PA 17703. 1-800-326-9694, $24.95.

Selective Trout
Author: Doug Swisher
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1510729860
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
When it was originally published in 1971, Selective Trout was universally acclaimed as the most revolutionary approach to aquatic insect imitation in the twentieth century. Using common sense, science, and imagination, authors Doug Swisher and Carl Richards developed a wide array of new patterns that were in sharp contrast to those offerings used by American fly fishermen up to that time. Their radical no-hackle dry fly, in particular, proved to be a more convincing, natural silhouette than anything anglers had ever seen before. With hatch charts covering different regions of the country, and featuring detailed tying instructions for flies that could be used in those regions, all liberally illustrated, the book provided anglers with a new arsenal of deadly fly patterns. Thirty years later, and after more than 200,000 copies of the first edition had been sold, a Thirtieth Anniversary Edition was brought out. Updated and revised by the authors, with new observations on trout behavior as well as detailed instructions on how to keep useful fishing logs, the book also featured detailed appendices on terrestrials, mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies. Not only that, but the new edition included hundreds of color illustrations by the renowned artist and fly-fishing innovator Dave Whitlock. It’s hard to imagine how anything could top that. In this new paperback edition of Selective Trout we know that we can’t top what’s been done previously. But we do know that this deserves to stay in print, because it’s the type of book that every fly fisherman should own and read. To add a new twist to this new edition, what we have done is added a new introduction by Doug Swisher (Carl Richards passed away in 2006), plus a new foreword by Nick Lyons, the book publisher who had the foresight to get behind the book in the first place.
