In full color, The Orvis Guide to Finding Trout is a brand-new book from Tom Rosenbauer and the Orvis Company. Most beginners (and many experts) are mystified when faced with a new river or changing conditions on their home river. And if they can’t predict where trout might be, they lose confidence and fish poorly. This book is about how to find trout in all types of water, at all seasons. But it’s also about what methods and flies may work best in each water type.

One of the most studied yet intimidating aspects of fly fishing for trout is an understanding of insect hatches. This unique book teaches fly fishers enough entomology to be successful, and instead of focusing on insect identification, it stresses learning how to approach trout, how to find where they feed, and how to present the fly so it is accepted as natural food without hesitation. It helps fly fishers catch more fish on dry flies, streamers, and nymphs, and teaches the angler more about trout than the life history of insects. Published in association with The Orvis Company.
