Norman Marsh "sets out to put into plain language the advances made over the past few years in troutfishing. Modern materials and technology have changed the tackle and techniques used to catch the wily trout. From simple things like leader-making using the new improved nylon lines now available, to techniques used to make modern space age material into the flies used to fool trout. In Norman's flybox every fly can tell a story and Norman, a master teller of tales, uses the flies he ties to impart some of his lifetime store of knowledge about catching trout on a fly". Chapters include:- Trout flies; Fly hooks; Fly rods and fly lines; Leaders and knots; Fly gear; Fly tying materials; Fly tying techniques; Trout stream insects; Other trout stream goodies; Popular trout flies; Creative patterns; Yankee Doodle Dandies; Tactics; Fishing on top; In between; Down below.
