Fly Fishing the Mountain Lakes
This is one of the funniest books I have read for quite a while. I laughed a lot while I read it - and learned a lot.
Goats and lakes
Imagine a serious book where the smartest dog in the world and several pack goats all named Rufus play a major role! Such a book can't be boring. Gary LaFontaine's book Fly Fishing High Mountain Lakes is excellent - educating and entertaining.
Fly Tying Tips & Reference Guide
A collection of hundreds of small tying tips gathered during Stewart's career as an editor of American Angler and Fly Fish America.
500 tying tips
This book is a collection of hundreds of small tying tips gathered during Dick Stewart's career as an editor of American Angler and Fly Fish America. Read the review here.

Modern Streamers for Trophy Trout, Second opinion
This is a book that deliberately sets out to help the reader achieve a goal, which few of us actually admit we have: to catch BIG fish!
Spring preparation
This time of year is usually accompanied by a boost in personal energy level. Though sometimes difficult to describe, we can "smell" spring in the air. As our semi-hibernation comes to a close we notice an increased desire to plan for upcoming outdoor events.
Carrie Stevens II
One of the true parents of streamer fly fishing, particularly in New England, she brought forth the Gray Ghost. The popularity of her 25 years of fly tying is exemplified by this fly, a streamer that has traveled not only throughout the United States but all over the world.

Carrie Stevens patterns
No page featuring New England Streamers would be complete without a portion dedicated to Carrie G. Stevens, of Madison, Maine. Mrs. Stevens is the originator or the Grey Ghost, one of the most well-known and effective New England Streamer patterns to have been tied, and still a popular choice as a trolling and casting streamer today.

North Country flies on blind hooks
More than 30 years ago I tied some of the North Country Flies on blind hooks. At that time Veniard Ltd. had them in their catalogue - but I had no silk-worm gut, so I tied them to fine monofile nylon.
Hypercomplete guide to fly tying
There are many intended uses for this guide, namely as reference to ensure you have a fairly complete compendium as to what you will need to get started in flytying or to use when dropping the perfect holiday gift hint. But more importantly, it is meant for the budding fly tyer, in hopes that the years of wisdom gained through trial and error from myself and my tying buddies will steer the newcomer down the right path
Bubble float
Notice that this page has been supplemented by a newer and updated one.
Fly but no flyrod
A lot of Danes fish the fly in a special way. They use a spinning rod and a bubble float. This rig has the...

Fishing New Zealand
In this article I will give an in depth explanation to why people fly half way around the earth to fish for trout. Besides that I will offer advice to people who have speculated about going there on a fishing adventure. The reasons why New Zealand is considered the prime destination when it comes to trout fishing are many...
René Palmér
A lovely New Zealand trout Web master Martin Joergensen met René at a small Southern Swedish Symposium after having mailed with him a couple of times. René is active both as a tyer and fisher locally and deals in fishing gear and travels. Read by René Palmér: Fishing New Zealand
Hook selection
Hook comparison charts are at best fickle or at worst too confusing and inaccurate to use. It is critical to remember that this chart does in no way list equivalent hooks but attempts to list hooks based on similar applications.
Our kids streamers
The inspiration for this feature was the birth of the author's granddaughter, Caitlin Nicole, and collectively members of the Streamer List began to formulate and describe the uniqueness of their own children and grandchildren. It was proposed that list member's design a streamer unique to their individual child or grandchild and that was most depictive of the individual child's personality.

A Perfect Fish
A fantastic and fascinating striper book by the author of "Striper Moon"

Modern Streamers for Trophy Trout
The authors are two of the best fly fishing guides in the state of Michigan. That is saying a lot in a state where fly fishing guides have been creating legends for over a century.
Troubleshooting the Cast
Is this the sequel to The Cast? No, it is something even better. Here is the "behind the making of" companion edition to The Cast. In this very
Morris & Chan on Fly Fishing Trout Lakes
This is one of the very few American books on fly-fishing for trout on Stillwater. It also turns out to be one of the finest. The volume
