The Orvis Guide to Hatch Strategies

Reviews / Votes

"You know how some flyfishers will approach a stream and commence making perfect casts to water that would never hold a fish? This book addresses a similar problem, only with bugs instead of casting. I wrote the foreword, partially because Tom is my friend, but also because I loved the premise: how to fish hatches when hatches aren't hatching. Fave sections: "When Trout Ignore Hatches" (been there!); "Toward Simplicity" (limit fancy flies); and "A Strategy for Late-Evening Hatches" ("Be drunk" is not a strategy).

"Rosebauer's strength has always been not only knowing all the technical stuff about fly fishing that professional anglers know, but also putting that know-how in the context of an ordinary angler enjoying fishing while learning to be better at it. The pace, tone, and organization of this book are excellent in that regard. This is readable technical stuff, nicely balanced between information and anecdote, and in sync on every page with the narrative we all seek on the water-the experience of a good day's fishing."

"Do yourself a huge favor and purchase this book for your personal library or as a present to a good friend or family member. At $35, it is a great investment towards more productive days on the water."
