Other topics include: characteristics of moving water; fly design; materials; a river's layers; stratification; fish species; sensory perceptions of fish; fly selection; fishing techniques; and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very practical & detailed approach of reading the water,
This review is from: Reading Water: An Illustrated Guide to Hydrodynamics and the Fly (Paperback)
The author defines and suggests new categories of the fly pattern by it's function, considering hydrodynamics.He explains very practical and detailed presentation with his own flies including surface and subsurface and each stream situation. His flies look like agly and odd but he makes his flyfishing nice and complete with those. In addition, I feel this book focuses on steelhead and salmon on north America. With very witty and nice hand-painted illustration. Recommending for serious flyfisher.
