Description
A FLYFISHER'S REVELATIONS is a captivating and provocative practical memoir, long awaited by legions of the author's fans. Ed has been a passionate and highly successful fly-fisherman and conservationist for more than half a century. Now, drawing on decadesof carefully kept diaries and journals, his book is both the chronicle of a life devoted to fly-fishing and a unique sharing of detailed tips, tactics, strategies, and personal anecdotes that reveal why he has earned the reputation for unparalleled successes. He tells which flies have produced most effectively; how to choose and tie flies that work best; when and how to fish the dry or wet fly, nymph, midge, or streamer; the importance of approach and presentation. There is a special chapter on the Adams, his favorite fly and one on which he has taken more than 70% of the trout he caught on a dry fly. He also offers insight into the beauty, humility, and quiet rewards of a life spent in the embrace of nature and the pursuit of wild trout.
This book is an essential read for all fly-fishers, novice and advanced.
