Description: Argues that the best way to catch trout is simply, with a rod and a fly and not much else. It teaches the reader how to discover where the fish are, at what depth, and what they are feeding on. Describes the techniques needed to present a fly at that depth, make it look lifelike, and hook the fish. Authors employ both the tenkara rod as well as regular fly fishing gear to cover all the bases. Includes paintings by renowned artist James Prosek, technical illustrations, photographs and stories.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (page 144).
