This is the distillation of more than a half-century of fly-fishing wisdom by a master. Goddard focuses on fly fishing for trout, and includes chapters on tackle; the trout’s senses; casting to, hooking, and playing trout; where to find trout in both rivers and lakes; trout foods; and fishing with wet flies, dry flies and nymphs. A special section thoroughly covers the methods necessary for catching trout in still waters. In addition, Goddard offers full tying recipes for many of his original patterns, including the world-famous Goddard Caddis.
