In this compact and extraordinary book, one of the most famous artist-authors in fly fishing writes about nearly anything that a trout will eat, and the important stages at which a trout will find them most appealing. Each of the major natural trout foods is treated, including: mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies, terrestrials, crustaceans, baitfish, midges.Dave offers suggestions for the simplest but most effective fly for every major hatch, and crucial tips about how to fish them. Each tip and suggestion is drawn from Dave's many years of streamside expertise, for which he is so well known. The book is generously illustrated throughout with detailed color photographs and illustrations for absolutely accurate identification and imitation. Imitating and Fishing Natural Fish Foods will be an indispensable guide for anglers and fly tyers, regardless of experience.
