This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every fly fisher would agree that knowing your mayflies from your stoneflies is strongly correlated with a successful day on the water. This knowledge is vital because, as author Tom Rosenbauer notes, trout are shy and careful and can be fussy about what they eat. In addition, they won’t hesitate to swim away and leave a meal if they feel threatened. In The Orvis Streamside Guide to Trout Foods and Their Imitations, Rosenbauer explains how and when to use many types of trout foods, including aquatic insects, terrestrial insects, crustaceans, and more. Designed with both the novice and intermediate fly fisher in mind, Rosenbauer teaches readers how to: Ambush trout Identify types of insects Present trout food properly Observe what trout are eating Use imitation trout foods And more With The Orvis Streamside Guide to Trout Foods and Their Imitations at their sides, fly fishermen will be able to tell the difference between mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies, midges, and a variety of other insects. In addition, they will also know when to use real foods and when to rely on the imitations in their tackle boxes. Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for fishermen.

Download or read book Spring Creek Strategies written by Mike Heck and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Strategies for selective trout in clear water * New patterns designed for spring creeks and how to fish them * Simple explanations of the major hatches on spring creeks across the country Spring creeks, those rare waters that flow right out of the earth--in whole or in part--are both a blessing and a curse for anglers. They are a blessing because the clear, cold, nutrient-rich waters grow abundant insects, which in turn grow and sustain large populations of healthy trout. They flow free of ice in the winter and run cool during the hottest parts of summer, providing year-round angling. In many ways, this bounty becomes a curse, because the abundance and steady supply of food can spoil the trout, making them less likely to take a piece of fluff and feathers. Many spring creeks are also small, their challenges enhanced by weed-choked runs and tricky currents. Mike Heck, expert fly tier and guide from southcentral Pennsylvania, the cradle of American spring-creek country, shares the tactics and techniques he teaches his clients to catch these tough trout. Heck includes his top fly patterns, tips on matching the major hatches of Tricos, Baetis, and Sulphurs (PMDs), and his thoughts on stealth and presentation. Whether you fish Letort Spring Run in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, or DePuy's Spring Creek in Livingston, Montana, Heck's Spring Creek Strategies will help you become a more successful angler.

In this no-nonsense, straightforward book, Paul Weamer—who has spent his life fishing the technical dry-fly waters of Penns Creek in Pennsylvania, the Upper Delaware River in New York and Pennsylvania, and the spring creeks of Paradise Valley outside of Livingston, Montana—breaks down the best methods, rigs, and fly patterns to catch more fish.
Download or read book Dynamic Nymphing written by George Daniel and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Daniel shares details on tactics and methods learned from knowledgeable fly fishers across the United States, as well as from his competitors throughout many other nations, enhanced by own insights gained through experimentation and experience. Daniel gives a thorough explanation of the suspension system of drifting nymphs below a dry float or float, covering virtually every aspect: leaders, weighting, rigging, and how best to fish areas that are difficult or nearly impossible to approach any other way. He also provides comprehensive instructions on tight-line nymphing, a method of nymphing without indicators, from casting to maintaining line control from rod tip to nymph in various stream conditions, including glides, pockets, riffles and pools. To become a good nymph fisher, it is necessary to understand this aspect of the sport as well. This book is a study of nymphing strategies: you won't digest the material in just one reading. It gives you thorough analysis of casting techniques, mending the line, and choosing the flies that can best produce for you if you fish them correctly, all presented in a technical manner. And finally, to paraphrase George Daniel, "This book is a melting pot of nymphing theories and tactics that will provide you with the tools to become a good nymph fisher." If you are a serious student, the insights within these pages will help you catch more fish.
Download or read book Fishbugs written by Thomas Ames and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of spectacular full-color photographs of common eastern aquatic insects is a fly tyer's dream. For centuries anglers have struggled with their peculiar dependency on the aquatic insects that put the word "fly" in fly fishing, discoursing obsessively on how to replicate them with fur and feathers, and even about what to call them. Volumes have been written on the subject, but until now there has never been a book like Fishbugs. Following the success of his first book, hailed as "the most useful book for eastern fly fishers since Art Flick's Streamside Guide," author Thomas Ames Jr. lets his photographic skills take center stage. His bigger-than-life studies of mayflies, caddisflies, and other waterborne insects, captured in extraordinary detail, allow you see them as never before. Fly tyers will appreciate them as models for their imitations, while naturalists and other lovers of nature photography admire them for their intrinsic beauty. His thoughtful prose examines the special characteristics that keep these fascinating insects at the heart of the angler's gentle art and underscores their value as indicators of the health of our inland waters.
