Tactics for Trout

Rating:
Summary: Best book on technique
Review: Best book I have on fishing for trout in all situations. Fairly detailed, well-written (not overbearing at all). As far as flyfishing "coaching" books, this is it. It is intended for people who have some experience and want to learn more (no how to tie a surgeon's knot, etc. here) - rather it is about how to fish; reading water, using the right tackle for the job, etc.

Summary: Clear & practical advice, read it before your next trip.
Review: One of the best fly-fishing books I've read. Goes beyond the usual casting mechanics and knots directly to solving the puzzles we face when on the water: how do I catch fish today? Covers tactics in general, plus specific techniques for fishing dries, nymphs, wets, and streamers. Well-written; author has clear, simple, very readable style. His only semi-flaw: he has a slight bias toward the bigger waters of the west. He has written at least 3 other books -- on hatches, reading the water, and tackle -- and they are next on my reading list. You'll want to re-read this book the night before every fishing trip -- and you probably should. I know I will
