This unique adventure in book publishing takes you onto the famed
trout waters of Northern Pennsylvania for a series of detailed,
exciting lessons from one of the great fly fishermen of all time,
Joe Humphreys. In extraordinary photo sequences, detailed captions,
and imaginative, original schematic drawings illustrating theory as
well as practical technique, Joe shows you how to catch trout. Joe
talks directly to you, the reader, in On the Trout Stream, as if
you were wading along beside him for a one-on-one lesson. You are
in the current at his side as he points out ways to read water,
shows you what tippet-fly combo he's going to use for a particular
stream situation, discusses casting, makes his approach, and, with
you at his side, lands fish. Joe goes into the basics of
bottom-drifting the nymph. He talks conditioning-the context of the
weather's seasonal rhythms and how trout react, as well as how
their behavior is affected by a dozen other factors, from light to
temperature to the nature of the food chain. He shows you his
favorite flies, some of them never-before-photographed originals,
with advice on tying and fishing. He shows you ways to figure out
what the trout are taking and how, in a myriad of different stream
situations. You wade along with Joe as he plies intermixing
currents, pocket water, riffles, pools, runs, feeder streams,
spring holes, guts, shallows, and tight brush with his nymphs and
dry flies, showing you-and talking to you-step-by-step through his
system of fishing: a body of knowledge developed in over 100,000
hours of hands-on trouting experience on some of the world's
toughest water. How do you get that weighted nymph bouncing
naturally over the bottom where it's going to catch fish? What is
the single most important factor in casting the dry fly? How should
you build your leader for different types of water, current, and
stream-configuration? When should you ignore water temperature?
What's the one nymph-approach trout can't seem to resist? What's
the secret of the hook-up? On the Trout Stream gives you hard
information and instruction in an original, highly visual
presentation of how Joe Humphreys actually fishes. Unprecedented in
approach, full of new tips as well as photo-sequence explanations
of techniques never before fully explained anywhere, this
reading-and looking-experience will prove indispensable to anyone
who has already grasped the basics of fly fishing and is surely
destined to take its place among the innovative teaching texts in
any sport.
