Instinctive Fly Fishing

Thisthoroughly revised and expanded new edition of Taylor Streits classic Instinctive Fly Fishing addresses the real reasons people catch trout, and offers suggestions and tips to help the aspiring angler take advantage of his or her own fly-fishing instincts.Since Instinctive was first published in 2003, the author has kept track of certain essential elements that were missing from the first edition. Even as hes been out on a guide trip with a client, hes kept notes about what should have been in Instinctive. This thorough revision benefits from more than seven years of his instinctive rumination. Rewritten with an eye toward a new audience, Instinctive aims for those who fish in competitive situations and overfished waters, which appeals especially to those in the eastern half of the United States. Additional content includes fishing tailwaters with tiny flies, practical information on insect hatches (tricos, blue winged olives, and green drakes) and illustrations of knots and rigs. Also included are additional chapters on the environment, stream manners, and safety.
