The sport of fly fishing is constantly changing—fish are getting tougher to catch on many streams, tools and tackle are improving, and new materials are being introduced into the fly-tying world that can help you create more-effective patterns. As these different aspects of our sport change, fly fishers need to evolve as well—if they want to catch more fish. In this book, George Daniel discusses cutting-edge strategies for nymphing, dry-fly, and streamer fishing gleaned from his own on-the-water experience and insights from other top anglers around the country. He covers everything from basic equipment and favorite fly patterns to proven rigs, casting approach, and common troubleshooting scenarios, and he includes his best tips to help your fly-fishing game evolve to the next level. Includes: Complete breakdown of the mono system (arguably the best way to control your drift when Euro nymphing), jigging streamers for tougher trout and the author’s top patterns for dry fly, nymph, and streamer fishing. 301 color photos/illus., 9x11 inches, 256 pgs.
