Trout from Small Streams

In Trout from Small Streams, Dave Hughes shares the secrets of a lifetime of fishing his favorite kind of water. Hughes grew up fishing the small streams in the coastal hills of Oregon. Those days he caught a lot more trees than trout, fishing hand-me-down rods, losing three and four flies in a row, but eventually learning enough to get him started. Since those early days he's fished small streams across this continent and a few others. He knows this kind of fishing intimately, and he writes both intelligently and lyrically about it. Hughes has much to share, much to teach. Whether you are fishing a stream near your home or traveling to destinations you've dreamed of, he'll help you make the right choices -- of rod, line, and flies -- and become more proficient at reading the water. He'll give you pointers for casting in those particularly challenging and maddening small stream situations. Settle in for an insightful, enjoyable read.
