The definitive handbook for understanding what trout eat. This classic guide by legendary fly fisher and illustrator Dave Whitlock is one of the most important reference books ever written on trout foods and fly selection. In this updated second edition, Whitlock explains – in simple, practical language – the full range of aquatic insects, crustaceans and other food sources trout depend on, and how anglers can imitate them effectively. Beautiful illustrations, clear diagrams, and step-by-step fishing strategies help you identify insects, match hatches, choose the right flies, and present them naturally in all water types. Whether you’re fishing nymphs, dries, emergers or streamers, Whitlock’s expert insights give you the knowledge to catch more trout, more consistently. Good condition.
