[.ca] Underwater Flies For Trout (ISBN 0881506028)

From Amazon.com:
Enticing a trout to the roof of its world for an artificial fly is one of the most exciting and satisfying moments in sport. But, as most anglers know, trout are more often content to take their meals below the surface. Many fly-fishers find the process of fishing with weighted nymphs, streamers, and wet flies an utter mystery: the fly is out of sight, takes can be nearly imperceptible, and then there's the question of which insects the fish are feeding on. Tom Fuller's thorough and demystifying Underwater Flies for Trout is designed to eliminate some of that mystery so that anglers can catch more and bigger fish when the hatch is off. To this end, he begins with the biology and lifecycles of three major trout food sources: mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies. All spend the majority of their lives underwater in various pre-adult phases (nymphs and emergers, primarily). A fly-fisher needs to know how to identify these insect phases, how to know whether trout are feeding on them, how to match them with artificial flies, and how to present such flies to trick trout. Fuller also covers other insects and baitfish, how to fish moving as well as still water, and his own favorite fly patterns. Beginners and experts alike will find excellent information in Underwater Flies for Trout, along with plenty of photos, diagrams, drawings, and color plates. --Langdon Cook, Sports & Outdoors editor
