Fishing Tandem Flies: Tactics, Techniques, and Rigs to Catch More Trout »

Charles Meck is the author of more than 12 fly-fishing and fly-tying books. He lives in Pennsylvania Furnace, Pennsylvania and Mesa, Arizona.

Angling legend Charles Meck covers tandems top to bottom with his favorite flies for matching hatches, as well as tried-and-true patterns for drumming up fish during summer doldrums and other tough conditions. In the first book devoted entirely to fishing more than one fly at once, Meck discusses 7 of the most effective rigs and the best times to use them, including detailed steps showing how to tie his new looped-leader series of flies. Artist Dave Hall provides clear illustrations of the connections and fishing techniques.
