Synopsis

RESERVOIR TROUT AUTOPSIES
Valuable Information Straight from the Fish's Mouth
Adrian V W Freer
Employing imitations of the natural creatures that the fish are feeding on is undoubtedly the most satisfying and rewarding method of fly fishing for reservoir trout. On most occasions it is by far the most successful.
That being the case, arriving at the correct choice of artificial fly is probably the most important decision (and often the most perplexing) that fly anglers have to make. The difference between success and failure very often hinges upon fly selection.
In order to choose the correct artificial the angler needs to be able to identify the creatures that the fish are targeting, know which patterns imitate them and understand how each one should be presented.
Performing an autopsy is a quick and straightforward procedure that enables anglers to identify positively, without any doubt, precisely what the fish have been ingesting in those vital moments prior to being caught. When carried our correctly there should be no blood or mess.
This volume will help anglers who wish to perform autopsies for themselves and in addition there are suggestions of what artificial flies might be employed to copy all the reservoir creatures likely to be encountered.
