Dave Whitlock presents information about important foods for trout - insects, crustaceans, and bait fish. He covers each organism's life cycle and how it relates to trout feeding, then simple, effective patterns to represent the imporatant life stages. I particularly like the way Dave makes his patterns a good mix of realisim with impressionistic simplicity. Excellent book for both beginning and experienced tyers.

This review is from: Dave Whitlock's Guide to Aquatic Trout Foods (Paperback)
I picked up this book for about five and a half bucks for a co-worker who had just recently taken up fly fishing. I actually purchased this same book about fifteen years ago when I was just beginning to fly fish. This book really explains why you use certain kinds of flies at different times of the year, whether to use dry or wet flies and which colors to use. It is an excellent primer for understanding the life cycles of the trout's main diet, namely aquatic insects. I truly recommend this to anyone who fly fishes.
