About this product

Product Information

Without doubt, in the British Isles, reservoirs provide the best, and the most accessible and affordable opportunity for catching rainbow and brown trout with an artificial fly. In whatever part of the country you reside there will probably be at least one day-ticket reservoir close to your home that is stocked with trout. To be consistently successful, the angler will need not only to utilize a wide range of fishing techniques, but also to possess a sufficiently comprehensive set of artificial flies to cater for every conceivable fishing situation. The purpose of this comprehensive book is twofold. Firstly, to discuss the design and dressing of the reservoir trout flies with a view to understanding how they actually appear to the trout. Secondly, to provide a reference guide to the most popular and successful reservoir fly patterns in use today. Topics covered: Discusses the design of artificial flies with supporting photographs showing their appearance and behaviour beneath the water Presents the dressing of over 270 fly patterns divided into nymphs, wet flies, lures (including fly patterns), dry flies and emergers, and terrestrials For ease of reference, a photograph of each fly, the dressing menu, a list of variants and comments on each individual pattern are all shown on the same page Provides a comprehensive on the bench reference handbook for both the amateur and professionals fly tyer Offers helpful advice to anglers contemplating tying their own flies for the first time AUTHOR: Adrian Freer has been a long standing member of both the Leicestershire Fly Fishing Association and the Anglers' Conservation Association and, as well as being a dedicated fly fisherman and also the author of the highly acclaimed Successful Reservoir Fly Fishing Techniques ILLUSTRATIONS 392 colour photographs
