Tom Rosenbauer has been a lifelong fly fisher and is the author of more than a dozen books on fly fishing and fly tying, including The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide. His podcast, 'The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide,' is one of the most popular outdoor titles on iTunes. Tom Bie is the founder, publisher, and editor-in-chief of The Drake, a leading fly-fishing magazine. The Orvis Company began in 1856 as a fly-fishing company and is now the nation's oldest mail-order business.
“You know how some flyfishers will approach a stream and commence
making perfect casts to water that would never hold a fish? This
book addresses a similar problem, only with bugs instead of
casting. I wrote the foreword, partially because Tom is my friend,
but also because I loved the premise: how to fish hatches when
hatches aren’t hatching. Fave sections: “When Trout Ignore Hatches”
(been there!); “Toward Simplicity” (limit fancy flies); and “A
Strategy for Late-Evening Hatches” (“Be drunk” is not a
strategy).
—Tom Bie, Editor, The Drake
"Rosebauer’s strength has always been not only knowing all the
technical stuff about fly fishing that professional anglers know,
but also putting that know-how in the context of an ordinary angler
enjoying fishing while learning to be better at it. The pace, tone,
and organization of this book are excellent in that regard. This is
readable technical stuff, nicely balanced between information and
anecdote, and in sync on every page with the narrative we all seek
on the water—the experience of a good day’s fishing."
—Gray’s Sporting Journal
“Do yourself a huge favor and purchase this book for your personal
library or as a present to a good friend or family member. At $35,
it is a great investment towards more productive days on the
water.”
—On The Fly Magazine
