Naturals: A Guide to Food Organisms of the Trout » (1ST PBK)

*A fly-fishing classic now in paperback
"A one-in-a-million reference book for the serious angler." _ -Dave Whitlock, author of L.L. Bean Fly-Fishing Handbook
Gary Borger's descriptions of the life histories of naturals have made this a classic among fly-fishing reference books. Learn to identify the species that are taken by trout-mayflies, terrestrials, caddis, stoneflies, midges, damselflies, and dragonflies, as well as forage fish, crustaceans, and mammals. Motion, silhouette, color, and size-features that trigger the trout's feeding instinct-are defined for each stage of the life cycle. Included are over 50 dressings with notes on presentation and fishing technique.
Gary A. Borger is a respected writer and photographer and has been a fly fisher since 1955. Borger and his angling partner, Robert H. Pils, compiled their research for Naturals over many seasons on the stream and in the library, and the book has been a steady seller for over 24 years. Gary's first book was Nymphing: A Basic Book _(0-8117-1010-6).
