About this title

Synopsis

Here is completely revised, expanded, and reset edition of the book that revolutionized modern fly fishing for trout--now in full color.

SELECTIVE TROUT has been hailed as the most revolutionary new approach to trout-fly imitation of the twentieth century. Fly Fisherman magazine called it the most important book on fly fishing of this decade. Writer and angling historian Paul Schullery said in American Fly Fishing that the book outlined many of the most important mayfly hatches in the best-known trout-fishing regions, and from that solid entomological foundation it introduced a striking and still-provocative series of flies. . . . In calculating the effect of its impact and practicality, Joe Brooks said that both beginners and veterans benefit immeasurably.

Now this fly-fishing bestseller with more than 150,000 copies sold is back in a new, thoroughly updated edition. The new SELECTIVE TROUT is completely revised and expanded to include hatching charts for the whole country, identification keys for caddisflies and stoneflies as well as mayflies, the latest entomological information, proven new fly patterns, and much more. This new full-color edition, with more than 150 handsome illustrated by the distinguished angler-artist Dave Whitlock, is a must-have for all fly fishers.

From the Back Cover

Today's trout are becoming more and more "selective," harder to catch - and no wonder: they are presented with an endless variety of flies by growing numbers of fishermen. But the authors of Selective Trout maintain that the real reason fly fishermen fail is that they do not present the right fly - and here is their solution. It is a clear, down-to-earth presentation of some startling new ideas about fly fishing for trout - ideas that break with tradition but which have now proven their value to thousands of fishermen. Along with full descriptions of their famous new No-Hackle and Paradun patterns, you'll find a hatching chart covering the entire country, complete information on how to fish the "super hatches" of mayflies, and the latest word on streamside strategy, night fishing, feeding habits, and much more. It's the new "bible" for fly fishermen; all predictions have been proven true. You can't afford to fly-fish for trout without having read this book! (81/4 X 103/4, 198 pages, color photos, b&w photos, illustrations, charts)
