Every fly fisherman has personal favourite flies that inspire confidence, many in common with a multitude of fellow anglers. But some will be less well known because they are an old pattern that is nearly forgotten or maybe they came from a far-off land. In this book, the author hopes that the selection of trout flies in this book will meet with approval - some may not - and that some of the less-obvious patterns will find a place in some more fly boxes, perhaps those belonging to more adventurous anglers.Extensively researched, "Flies that Catch Trout" includes the importance of the sedge, or caddis, in all their forms to fly fishing both at home and around the world, and the growing understanding of the importance of midges to the diet of trout in rivers.
