Trout Flies

When fishing gets tough, fly fishers might be tempted to use bigger, flashier flies, but expert angler Ed Engle knows that tiny, sparsely dressed flies often work when nothing else will. With a little attention to tying the flies and fishing technique, fly fishers will take trout on flies as small as 24, 28, and even 30.

300 of the most effective flies throughout the history of fishing. From the mundane to the bizarre, a lavishly illustrated collection of patterns from around the world.

Fly fishing's most recognized and respected author returns to print with the hardcover reissue of his classic work.
