Instinctive Fly Fishing: A Guide's Guide to Better Fishing

Near fine condition hardcover in like dustjacket, signed on the title page by the author.

In fly fishing, as in life, the very simplest things are the most important, and the easiest to overlook. Taylor Streit, in this important new book, reveals what he has learned in more than twenty-five years of guiding fly-fishing trips.
Streit has witnessed thousands of clients catch trout over the years, and their successes and failures often boil down to a few elementary rules: keep the sun at your back; keep your silhouette off the water; keep your fly in productive water; think like a predator, and so on.
With an almost Zen-like scrutiny, Streit discusses his distilled techniques for fishing pressured trout. He looks into what separates the beginner from the expert caster, and dissects the mechanics of the perfect strike.
Other chapters include Streit's novel approaches to: nymph and dry-fly fishing; proper casting strokes; dealing with slack; bluegills and bobbers; reading water; riffles; eddy fishing; hiring a guide; fighting fish; wading; catch and release; using maps to find good angling opportunities; fishing with kids; and much more.
The result is a refreshing take on how simple this complex sport really is.
