Book Description

July 2002
Fly fishing lakes is fun and easy. Where else can you stalk big, surface-slurping trout amid uncrowded and often spectacular surroundings? Lakes are usually more generous than streams, and a productive lake is usually close to home. Once you have a successful lake fishing experience, you will want more. A basic understanding of lakes and the feeding habits of fish sets you up to enjoy some of the most exciting fresh-water angling to be found.

Lake Fishing With a Fly tells you how to "read" lakes and explains their physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. It is loaded with presentation techniques and fishing strategy, plus and extensive treatment of food sources, including forage fish, midge, damsel, scud, caddis, mayfly, and leech. Loaded with information, diagrams, illustrations, and photos, Lake Fishing With a Fly is recognized as the best work on the subject. This book is guaranteed to save you decades of struggling and frustration, and propel you into the 10 percent of anglers who catch 90 percent of the fish.

Salty Fly (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lake Fishing with a Fly (Paperback)
An introductory book covering the topic of lake fly fishing. This is an excellent book for basic concepts and uses science as a basis to move into the various discussions. Had to comment on the previous reviewers low score.....the real message is this is a superb introductory resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely essential book for stillwater anglers!!!, September 28, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lake Fishing with a Fly (Paperback)
Despite being a couple of decades old, this book still reads like it was put together yesterday. Full to the brim with information on trout food, habitat, and behavior, this book will prepare you for some fantastic days out on the lake. I wish I had read this years ago, when I was struggling to figure out why catching fish on a fly rod seemed so much harder than lobbing a spoon or spinner out from the shore. Neatly summarizing line choices, fly styles, and presentations, this book will quickly and informatively prepare you to face almost any situation you can expect on a stillwater fishery. The fly patterns and color plates are very helpful and beautifully illustrated. You will be grabbing for your fly rod and heading out the door after reading through the various locations the authors have stalked quality fish. Truly the mark of an outstanding book. It inspires the reader!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing above & beyond here!, August 11, 2005
By 
This review is from: Lake Fishing with a Fly (Paperback)
This is indeed a good book on different techniques to catch fish but the problem is that this book does not offer anything beyond what so many other books do. If this is one of your first complete books on fly fishing then I think you will find great value within the pages but if you already have comprehensive books on technique then you might just as well re-read your others.
