There is more than one way to catch a trout. That is why over the last 110 years Sports Afield magazine has published thousands of articles on trout fishing by the most notable fishermen in the world. Lee Wulff, Lefty Kreh, A. J. McClane, John Gierach, and many others have all written their share of poetic tributes to the fish, but don't be fooled: Behind every trout fisherman is a technical wizard, a master of stream biology, flycasting physics, fishing lines, flytying, and dozens of intricate knots. What fascinates these fishermen is not only the beauty of the trout, but the complexity of the sport.The Trout Fisher's Almanac is a compilation of advice from America's best-known fishermen. Some of the tips are as simple as how to choose a reel, while others are less conventional, like how to get flytying material from a feather duster. Replete with fascinating bits of trout fishing history and lore, the book includes sections on flyfishing techniques, equipment, rods, reels, lines, flytying -- even a few delicious trout recipes. A section of short essays by such luminaries as Ernest Hemingway and Tom McGuane provides insight into why the sport is so compelling, and a convenient appendix furnishes up-to-date information on flyfishing schools and fishing organizations across the country.The Trout Fisher's Almanac is the definitive guide to this magical and popular sport.
