Lakes are one of the most challenging opportunities available to today’s fly fisher. Stillwaters offer a long active season with numerous hatches and presentation challenges. Fish grow big and fat and many fishers find this appeal hard to resist. But the transfer from rivers and streams is often difficult, especially if a prolonged trial-and-error approach is adopted. This book examines the stillwater fly fisher’s kit bag, expectations, and offers an introduction to the diverse stillwater food sources.
