One of the enduring attractions of fly fishing lies in the selection and application of the correct pattern in order to deceive the trout into taking the bait. In this book, John Cawthorne provides the information you need to choose the right pattern. Using detailed drawings of the insects that form the trout's diet and offering suggestions for the most appropriate flies, he shows you what your pattern is trying to achieve and gives advice as to how to go about it. Divided into sections covering each main insect group, and with a further section on the life cycles of the various insects, this book will appeal to all fly fishermen.
