Patterns, Hatches, Tactics, and Trout

Book excerpt: 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.
