Description
In full color, The Orvis Guide to Finding Trout is a brand-new book from Tom Rosenbauer and the Orvis Company. Most beginners (and many experts) are mystified when faced with a new river or changing conditions on their home river. And if they can't predict where trout might be, they lose confidence and fish poorly. This book is about how to find trout in all types of water, at all seasons. But it's also about what methods and flies may work best in each water type.
Reviews / Votes
"It never fails to amaze me at how much I can learn from the author, Tom Rosenbauer. I think I have read all his books, follow his podcast, and watch his videos/television shows when I can. He ALWAYS has something new and exciting to teach. And this book is no exception! Full of new ideas, techniques, and observations to help me find and catch my favorite game fish, the trout. Great photography. Great, easily understood instructions. Written clearly in a way to really get me excited about my next excursion. Whether you are a beginning fisherperson, or have been fishing for 60 years like me, there's absolutely something you can learn in this book. Thank you, Tom! Keep the information coming!"--Randal W., Reviewer
