365 Trout Flies

Both a practical how-to guide for the fly enthusiast and a striking collection highlighting the art of these faux-entomological wonders.

Few fly fishers are fortunate enough to spend every day of every month casting into riffles and undercut banks in search of finicky browns, brooks, and rainbows. This generous collection of trout fly patterns should provide some measure of solace to those legions of desk-bound anglers.

365 Trout Flies serves up dozens of options to entice the spectrum of salmonids fly fishers are likely to encounter, whether fishing small, pastoral chalk streams or forested, freestone rivers. Each spread features macrophotography of three flies along with their recipes of materials, all organized by nymphs, dries, wets, streamers, and terrestrials.

From traditional stalwarts like the Adams, Mickey Finn, Royal Wulff, and Hare’s Ear Nymph to more modern twists incorporating synthetic materials, this volume functions as both a practical compendium of fly patterns and recipes and a handsome collection highlighting the art of fly-tying.
