Nymph Fishing Rivers &
Streams
Rick Hafele
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As I paged through this book, I couldn't help
thinking, "Do we need yet another book that shows
us the Lisenring lift, and the methods of Skues and
Sawyer?"In Nymph-Fishing Rivers and Streams,
aquatic entomologist and longtime fly fisherman
Rick Hafele gives you what's necessary to
successfully decipher the mysteries of trout life.
Sections on tackle and pattern selection help anglers
sort through equipment and imitations to find the
most desirable outfit for their nymph-fishing needs.
The 72-minute DVD, Nymph Fishing Basics,
presents basic instruction on nymph-fishing
techniques. Included is an angler's field guide to
nymphs—describing in detail their habitat, behavior,
importance to trout, and the most effective patterns
and fishing tactics to imitate these aquatic insects.
No, we don't need to re-learn these methods, but
no book on nymph fishing is complete without
mentioning them,.We highly recommend this one.

Fly Fishing Great Waters
Jim Teeny
213pp.

You expect to see beautiful rivers and big fish in any
book by Jim Teeny. I always thought that we should
have a written account of the many products and ideas
that Jim Teeny has brought to the sport of fly fishing.
However, there is much more here. Whether
intentionaly or not, Jim has done what few authors can
do. He has captured the "essence" of fly fishing. When
you finish this book, you are thankful for the sport of fly
fishing and even more thankful that you have friends to
share it with.

Even if you never get to the captivating steehead
rivers of the Pacific Northwest, this book should
be in your library. Dec covers the lifecycle, the
flies, spey casting, fishing in different situations,
and a bonus question and answer section.
Photograpy and drawings are outstanding!
When you teach someone steehead fishing, you
have to get a little technical, but Dec even handles
the technical stuff in an entertaining manner. Only
someone with a passion for steelhead could have
written this book!

Wet Fly Tying and Fishing
Roger Fogg
114pp
Crowood Publishing
Any book by Roger Fogg is a collector's gem and this is no
exception. I have to admit, I like anything on North Country
Spiders and wet flies and with his fifty years experience,
Roger Fogg does it better than anyone. The historical
information is complete and is very enjoyable reading. We
also have the practical information such as fishing tactics and
equipment for fishing these flies. The wet flies are divided
into four categories and there are enough patterns to keep
you busy for quite a while. The 200 color photographs are
exceptionally well done.
If I could only have one book on these types of flies, this
would be it.
