Even after centuries of observation, anglers are still trying to solve the mysteries of that magical instant when a trout takes a fly. The Rise, based on recent scientific research into trout feeding behavior and the author’s extraordinary photographic studies, provides many new clues. With unprecedented photographic clarity, Schullery reveals the subtleties of the trout’s feeding behavior, analyzes the rise-forms that puzzle us, and offers startling and reassuring insights into the lessons of rejection. Schullery challenges modern “common knowledge”; reconsiders neglected flies, ideas, and tactics; and faces some of fly fishing’s toughest questions with wit, patience, and the happy conviction that the questions are more important than the answers anyway. Distills five centuries’ worth of angling lore and wisdom about trout feeding behavior and includes a photographic sequence that shows in detail how trout take a fly. A thorough examination of flies includes the importance of wings and what they are made of, hooks, soft-hackled flies, and skipping, dapping, and dry-fly techniques.

While most of us, if we had our druthers, would cast dry flies to rising fish all day long, the fact remains that a trout takes 90 percent of its prey below the surface. It doesn’t require a marine biologist to figure out that on certain days–when the hatch is off–you need nymphs if you want to feel that telltale tug at the end of your line. To this end, Gary Borger provides a comprehensive guide to identifying, tying, and fishing artificial nymph patterns. Chapters on line control (casting and mending), trout biology, reading the water, and fly selection are presented in clear language along with ample drawings and diagrams. As the author writes in his preface, "Fly fishing, and nymphing in particular, is more than just a method of catching trout…. it is an open-ended learning experience with lessons in ecology, limnology, botany, ichthyology, natural history, and much more."

The sheer variety of fly-fishing environments and experience covered in “Taking Trout” make it a worthy addition to a fishing library. Fishing a canyon stream with midges, Hughes teaches the basics of presentation. Fishing stair steps, Hughes covers strategies to prevent drag. Fishing bank water, Hughes teaches how to cast upstream near the bank for the trout there. Fishing slicks, deciphering whether trout are feeding on the surface of the water or subsurface, the benefits of spike camping away from the base camp in order to fish less congested waters-all are covered in the book. Readers will learn from an experienced fisherman and talented fly-fishing author, who himself admits he is still learning how to take trout. EXCERPT: “We packed a small tent, sleeping bags, and pads, some light food and cooking gear, and headed out with all the others. We lazed along, dropped our packs, and fished while everybody else rushed ahead. .. . . We’d had an excellent day, spent fishing rather than racing.”

A thoughtful fisherman and a fine photographer, Marinaro sets out to debunk the mystery of the trout’s environment and feeding behavior. “A trout lives in a secret world,” he writes. “It is a small world in which many dramatic events are played out in watery obscurity, veiled from the keenest eyes. And even though he is stalked and pursued relentlessly by the most attentive land creature on earth, his life-style remains much of a mystery.” Marinaro begins to reveal the mystery through the clarity of his own sharp vision and the technological wizardry of a high-speed camera–both of which are focused on the ring of the rise, or riseform, which is, in essence, the trout’s dining room. “A trout is vulnerable to the fisherman because he eats,” Marinaro explains, and by trying to visually parse what the trout sees from what he doesn’t see (how the fish moves toward his dinner and how he takes it) the author ushers us directly to the dining room table to understand what happens when a fish is presented with a fly–his supper–from the fish’s point of view. Marinaro’s skill at identifying a trout’s myriad feeding patterns, and his ability to decode them, is precisely the kind of knowledge the studious angler salivates over. Used cunningly, it translates into an engraved dinner invitation for delivery on the end of a hook. –Jeff Silverman

More than fifty years ago, Vincent Marinaro’s Modern Dry-Fly Code was hailed as “the best angling work of the last half century” and “the first original American contribution to fly-fishing.” Now, for the first time in paperback, The Lyons Press brings Marinaro’s intense and remarkable originality to a second book of profound significance.
Marinaro’s approach is nothing short of revolutionary. His startling high-speed color photographs explore the feeding patterns and behavior of the trout, revealing unsuspected responses that the fisherman can exploit with new tactics and new fly patterns. In addition, he provides a novel and unique way of testing fly patterns, the “game of nods”; a fresh look at rod design; new revelations about the spinner; an expanded treatment of his pathbreaking study of the Caenis; and further explorations with terrestrials. There is also a special discussion of limestone and freestone rivers.
