Trout Tactics: A Comprehensive Guide For The Conventional Tackle
Angler, is THE guide western and all trout anglers have been
looking for. With apologies to our fly fishing brethren, who gasp
at the notion of catching a trout with an earthworm, the number of
anglers who use hardware or bait to catch trout is staggering
compared to those ho wield wispy rods to toss microscopic flies.
***** And yet so very few books are written for those who prefer
spinners, hard plastics and bait to size 22 caddis imitations, or
deep water trolls instead of woolly worms and floating fly lines.
What makes this book different is that it contains how to
information for those who put results ahead of form. ***** There
must be at least 1,000 ways to catch a trout, and yet so few of us
possess the know-how to switch tactics as we go from high mountain
waters to major rivers to deep-water reservoirs to small creeks.
From the beginning trout angler to the veteran whose practiced eye
can spot a fish behind a rock forty yards away, Cal Kellogg takes
you through just about every setup and every rig used by
conventional tackle anglers today. You will learn different
applications and variations to tactics that can and will make you a
better trout angler. If you dream of catching more and bigger
trout, this is the book for you
Local streams in the Lincoln, Maine, area set the stage for what
would become author Paul Freeman Thibodeau's lifelong passion. His
father, Paul Francis Thibodeau, taught him the rudiments of fly
fishing. Later in life, with increased skills and knowledge, the
younger Thibodeau ventured farther afield in Penobscot County in
hopes of catching larger salmon, trout, and smallmouth bass.
In "Wild about Maine," he shares tales that paint an image of
the outdoorsmen, the breathtaking landscape with Mount Katahdin in
the background, and the challenges of fishing in the pristine
waters of the Penobscot River. This collection of stories includes
anecdotes about the interaction between fishermen, the prolific
fish, and the area's abundant wildlife. In "The Taking of Vinegar
Hill," Thibodeau tells of searching for a secret trout pond with an
old friend. "The Never-Ending Mouse Tale" narrates a lighthearted
story of sharing one's home with an unwanted furry critter.
Inspiring, educational, and entertaining, "Wild about Maine"
provides a look at modern-day "Mainers," the state's wild
creatures, and the wilderness they share.
Question: Why another book on how to fly fish for trout? Answer:
Because all of the books out there offer too much information for a
beginner. This is all you need to know to get started. If you are a
guy or gal who just wants to try this sport and enjoy the little
time you have to go fishing, this book will get you on the stream
and catching fish sooner than the others. Besides, once you
understand and, more importantly, experience what is offered here,
all the other books will make much more sense. Also included in the
Fish Tales section are true stories outlining strategies, tactics
and techniques as well as descriptions of some of my favoriite
