Tying Flies For Trophy Trout

by Jack Shaw

tagged: fishing
Description

Jack Shaw spent a lifetime studying trout and the insects they feed on, with the aim of creating fly designs that would attract the wiliest of fish. In this edition of his bestselling book, he tells fly fishers how they too can challenge trophy trout with homemade flies. Jack provides information on basic equipment and materials and gives instructions on tying 16 of his finest flies plus variations, each illustrated with colour photos of both the insect and the completed fly. This edition includes a new section on chironomids, an important insect family in many lakes.
