-How and where to find trout in pools, curves, trenches, riffles, runs, or behind boulders

Nymphs and dry flies, streamers and soft-hackled wet flies

In his newest book, Dave Hughes covers all aspects of fly fishing for trout on small streams. He describes how fishing is different on mountain, freestone, and meadow streams and how to develop skills for each. He covers the gear, including what to put in a small stream fly box. Hughes' advice on casting technique is especially useful because trees and brush often require different kinds of casts for small streams.

Dave Hughes is the author of over 25 fishing books, including Essential Trout Flies and Taking Trout. He lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife and daughter.
