Squaretail


Book Description

Brook trout are native in the Eastern United States and were the most important fly rod gamefish for early anglers, until they were supplanted by nonnative brown and rainbow trout. Today, brook trout are indicators of cold, clean water and healthy ecosystems, and in almost every place they are found, anglers will also find wild country and relative solitude. They have been introduced throughout the Rocky Mountains, where they grow large and abundant. This is the most complete guide to brook trout ever written and not only includes information on tackle and techniques but important conservation information and an in-depth section on top brook trout destinations, from Maine to Argentina. With a foreword by Ted Williams.




Favorite Flies for the Great Smoky Mountains


Book Description

The Great Smoky Mountains and their surrounding region have some of the best wild brook and brown trout fishing in the United States. It is also home to a rich tradition of fly tying, giving rise to many patterns designed not only for the tumbling mountain streams that characterize the region, but also for some of the highly selective fish in the state’s many catch and release trout streams. Each chapter features a stunning macro image of the fly, a detailed recipe, and practical fishing information. In addition, author Kevin Howell explains the stories behind many of the flies, making this book an invaluable resource for anyone planning to visit the region as well as residents that want to learn how to catch more fish in their local waters.
