Product Description
Gearing up for all types of trout fishing on creeks, rivers, tailwaters, and lakes
Casting, selecting a fly, and reading the water and finding trout
Dave Hughes's clear and simple instruction and explanation describes 18 trout rigs and 81 methods to fish them. In moving water: rigs and methods for dry flies and emergers, nymphs, wet flies, streamers, and dry flies and droppers. In stillwater: dry flies and sunk flies.Fly fishers learn the specifics of the rig--types of fly line, lengths and tapers of leader and tippet, the flies, and split shot, putty weight, strike indicators, droppers, point flies, and indicators--and the full array of methods to present the rig to the trout. Hughes's lucid text is teamed with hundreds of instructive illustrations, including those showing how the trout views the fly. The more rigs you learn to construct and the more methods you learn to apply, the more situations you'll solve, and the more trout you'll catch.

Comment:
This book just about covers most any challenging fly fishing situation that you will run into. I bought the book to learn more about streamer methods and to get some greater insight on dry fly fishing. I wasn't disapointed! This is an excellent resource for any fly fishing rig. I have fished the indicator/nymph methods for years. There isn't any false information or anything I would disagree with. David Hughes does an excellent job explaining various fly rigs and why they work. The 'trout view' is a great way to illustrate how the fish are seeing each presentation. I'm going to adopt several of the methods/rigs into my own 'tool box' for catching more trout.

I really like this book and can't wait to put some new techniques in the quiver for this spring. There is a lot to digest in the book, but a tremendous reference. I can see this one as a book you keep checking back with often. Nicely done.

Comment:
I found this work to be what I was seeking: Specific, clear tips with details on situations I encounter fly fishing water that is special. The kind that you know hold great trout but you are unsure of how to get the fly into without a mess or disaster. Not for beginners. But ideal for the fly fisher seeking to take the time and effort to step up to the next level of success and enjoyment. Excellent sketches, better than photos for making points and giving tips. Fine use of the English language.

Comment:
I have fly fished for the last 20 years, mostly in the West, and I can say that this book is not for beginners as much as it is for more experienced fishers. Beginners may benefit from the information, especially since it is written in the author's easy to read style, however, they may not have an understanding of the material without having been on the water awhile.
This was a great refresher for me, having not fished that much in recent years. The format is easy to follow and helps keep the information organized, not just on the page, but in my head. There is so much good info that I will probably only be able to use a few new ideas each season. I was looking for a good practical guide and I am lucky I found this one. I chose it for the author, and am not disappointed. I expect to increase my success rate and the size of my catch just by using the Duncan loop!

Comment:
This book is extremely useful for any experienve level of angler. It covers basically all of the, well, rigs and methods you will ever need to use. I personally found this book very, very useful. I have also read two other Dave Hughes' books and they are of equal caliber. I did give this book a four star rating simply because I don't beleive anything deserves a perfect rating; but it was darn close. Anyone who is getting started in fly-fishing or even the experienced angler will get alot out of this book.
