Book Opinions

[tailingloop]

"The Dry Fly: New Angles" is an excellent book that a well researched and thought out approach to dry fly fishing, particularly with regards to choosing attractor patterns. It complements many of the other great books on fishing dry flies.

The Guide to Prospecting Trout steams is also an excellent book that focuses on fishing non-hatch periods and covers the types of conditions where you may want to try dries vs nymphs vs wets vs streamers, etc. This book is one of the few that I usually carry with me on trips (in my luggage, not on the water).

Anything by John Gierach is entertaining. Trout Bum is probably my favorite.

the River Why by David James Duncan
& all of his subsequent books.
Ted Leeson's books.

I think I'd put The River Why right up there with any of the classics of fishing literature. Also, Paul Quinnett's Pavlov's Trout, Darwin's Bass, and Fishing Lessons are well worth a look, too.

Fly Fishing the Louisiana Coast by Pete Cooper. (Sorry guys, I just had to!)

Thanks for all of the great replies. I am not a novice, however I love to read all kinds of books in regards to the fundamentals. Keeps me busy during the cold winter months. I have a decent library of fly fishing literature, just looking to add and I had heard some good things from others about these books. Looks like I will just get them all, or at least put them on the list and see what Santa brings. Thanks for the input. -Chad

Don't remember the Author but a really good book is Streamer fishing for trophy trout! I highly recommend...
