Overview

Here, Skip Morris, the author of 23 books on fly fishing and tying flies, guides you through 12 great nymph-flies and how to catch trout on them in creeks, streams, and rivers. You get a color photograph of every fly. Skip tells you all about each fly--what it imitates, what it's designed to do, what it does do in the water, and more. Next, he teaches you how to fish each nymph-fly effectively--the best times to fish it, how deep in the water to fish it, deadly methods for fishing it (through illustrations and instructions), and more. He describes these methods plainly, so you can go right out and make them work. He even provides a section that helps you decide which nymph will best fit your specific fishing conditions and helps choose the best method for catching trout on it at that moment. Top 12 Nymphs for Trout Streams, How, When, and Where to Fish Them (2nd Edition) contains about 27,500 words, 26 color photographs showing all the flies and the creatures they imitate (a few of the shots are just to make you smile and sigh-one of a gorgeous cutthroat trout, others of grand fishing scenes on beautiful trout streams). Also included: 26 illustrations (two are really fine-art paintings) that teach you nymph fishing methods, rigs, and knots. Figuring out trout flies is often overwhelming for the new fly fisher and confusing enough even for the old pro. Let Skip guide you through 12 outstanding trout nymphs and how, when, and where to catch fish on them. And enjoy an entertaining read too.
