A compact but highly informative reference book for fly fishers interested in understanding and selecting flies for trout and other fresh water species. Richly illustrated with colour photographs, the book explains more than 100 fly patterns, covering both imitative flies that resemble natural insects and non-imitative attractor patterns. The authors combine entomology and practical angling knowledge to show how different flies imitate mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies, dragonflies, crustaceans and other aquatic prey. The book also discusses wet and dry fly techniques, fly choice, presentation and how to make artificial flies behave naturally in the water. Very good condition. Hardcover, 20cm x 15cm, 80 pages.
