Here is a comprehensive guide divulging the secret to catching trout when they are not rising - by the author of the bestselling book, The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide. Although most anglers can derive enjoyment on a trout stream without catching fish, being able to hook trout at all times - not just during easy hatch periods - is a skill most fisherman would love to develop.

This first modern, all-encompassing manual on the art of streamer fishing teaches new techniques for catching trophy-sized trout on a fly. Streamers are the most effective of all fly patterns for the seduction of large trout, because they imitate the look and behavior of the smaller fish these trophies feed on.

Catching a trout is among the most rewarding challenges in the entire sport of fly fishing because they are superbly adapted to their environment. To catch the wiliest among them, an angler must know all of the many defenses that trout employ to protect themselves from predators. In Understanding Trout Behavior, John Goddard and Brian Clarke give anglers invaluable advice.

Trout is arguably the finest single volume ever produced on how, why, and where to catch trout. In spite of being originally published in 1938 (Penn Publishing Company), it remains utterly relevant.

With beautiful photographs and descriptive text about past and present forms of tackle and technique, The Classic Guide is an attractive addition to any fishing bookshelf and the perfect gift for an angler of the fly.
