![]() | Bring up the subject of fly fishing, and most anglers picture a trout rising to the surface to sip in a tiny dry fly. But in truth, subsurface flies account for the vast majority of fly-caught trout. Fishing Nymphs, Wet Flies & Streams: Subsurface Techniques for Trout in Streams, deals only with methods for using nymphs streamers, and wet flies, the major types of subsurface patterns. It's no wonder that trout respond so well to subsurface flies - they mimic immature aquatic insect, baitfish and crustaceans, foods that are present in every trout stream through the year. On the other hand, the adult insects that dry flies imitate are available for only brief periods. For any subsurface technique to be effective, you must first understand the world in which trout live. The first chapter, "Understanding Trout Streams," helps you assess a stream's fishing potential by explaining how environmental factors, such as water fertility, water temperature and current speed, affect the number and size of trout a stream can produce. |

The second chapter, "Subsurface Basics," shows you how trout detect danger and how to approach a potential lie without spooking the fish. Basic information is presented that you'll need for selecting and presenting each type of subsurface fly. Proper trout handling techniques are shown so you can release your fish to fight again. "Subsurface Fly-Fishing Techniques," the third and final chapter, details the most effective methods for fishing trout along the bottom or in the mid-depths. You'll learn what techniques work best in what water types and how to select the right equipment for each method. Finally, using detailed step-by-step photos and diagrams, the book shows you how to perfectly execute each technique, including any special purpose casts associated with it. | ![]() |
