DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Learn how to hook more trout on these crucial Western waters. Learn what types of casts to STOP making and what really constitutes a Money-Cast. Details on fly recipes, leader/tippet construction, and much more for any trout stream that holds trout anywhere in the U.S. You need both Presentation skills and Imitations for success. You can always use a local Guide, but it is more fun to learn how to guide yourself. This Manual has more information than is understood by most local guides because it is based on the knowledge of dozens of professional guides. If you stick with it, over the years, your expanded knowledge will be well rewarded. Whether you are a Novice or an Expert, there is always something here that will add to your skills.This book is NOT about "Contact" Nymphing methods (such as European nymphing) but rather "Suspension" Nymphing methods, where the "strike indicator" is really a method to suspend the nymph high in the water column, near the surface. Our methods are much more productive than the typical "dry fly plus dropper" methods, and we teach how to customize various types of strike indicators to make micro-indicators that will allow fishing the nymph only 10" or so from the indicator. These "elevated" nymphing tactics are only well-known by a few spring creek anglers and almost no tail-water anglers. Have fun, learn, and change your tactics during the day to suit the situation.
