Trout: The Complete Guide to Catching Trout with Flies, Artificial Lures and Live Bait (The Freshwater Angler) (Hardcover)

by Dick Sternberg (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

To consistently catch trout in any body of water, you have to be versatile. On some days trout rise quickly to take dry flies. But on other days they respond better to nymphs, spawn bags or small spinners. This book explains how to choose the right presentation for any situation you encounter on your favorite stream.

Hall of Fame angler Tony Dean says, "This book provided me the knowledge I needed to catch more trout in streams and it will help you do the same."

5.0 out of 5 stars Scientifically Specific & Detailed, the Best Book on Trout!, July 28, 1999

By A Customer

Encyclopedias, dictionaries and other miscellaneous tomes on salmonids have been written to attain the precision and photographic beauty of this one book: "Trout." It's easy to read without sacrificing the scientific.

You have seen pictures of trout and other salmonids before, but never with as much beauty and accuracy as in this book. The subsurface photography captures trout in their natural enviornment--with their jaws agape-- milliseconds before gorging on a small baitfish or hitting a Muddler Minnow. Fisherman will definitely find such photographs worth twice the retail price alone.

The information on each species is concise. Bar graphs detail the average length and weight of each species per year of growth. North American maps detail where each species can be found. For each species, table quality, world record, salmonid's diet, preferred water quality (including temp. and clarity), common hybrids, and more are detailed.

The books are hard bound and make for an attractive library or coffee table in addition to their priceless photographs.
