Nymphs for Streams and Stillwaters by Dave Hughes (9780811704724)

Description - Nymphs for Streams and Stillwaters by Dave Hughes

This book provides a sound understanding of the relationship between naturals and their imitations, and between those imitations and the trout. You will learn what nymphs you should spend your time tying, you will learn how to tie them, and most importantly, you will learn where and how to fish them in order to catch more trout. The book is broken logically into four parts. The first part is an introduction to the way nymphing shapes itself with notes on streamside and lakeside observation, nymph selection based on what you observe, and recommendations on tools and materials for both basic and advanced methods for tying nymphs that take trout. The second part deals with the selection and detailed tying of all sorts of effective searching nymph patterns for moving water. The third part examines imitative nymphs for moving waters, tightly relating naturals to their imitations. The fourth part covers stillwater nymphs. Trout are more often selective in lakes and ponds, and the things they eat in stillwaters are often unlike trout foods in rivers and streams.Hughes takes a subject that has been considered complex and confusing and makes it understandable, presenting the information that you really need to improve your tying and your fishing. The book is destined to be the step-by-step reference to tying and fishing every nymph you'll ever need. Filled with good advice from a trusted master of the subject, it is the most thorough and enjoyable book about selecting, tying, and fishing nymphs that has ever been written. This book includes 175 dressings and step-by-step instructions for 112 useful nymph flies. It features over 1,000 photos of natural nymphs, their imitations, and steps in tying those flies.
