Editorial Reviews

Taking trout on lightweight rods with flies as small as size 20 and 30 is a challenge. Learn to imitate midges’ trailing shucks and drowned adults, tie tiny parachutes and white-winged Tricos, and create patterns that mimic micro-caddis and micro scuds. Engle covers small fly history, tying tools, and materials. Tips on fishing techniques come from Ed Engle’s 30 years of experience fishing small flies on the South Platte River. Included is information on choosing the right hook, thread, wire, and amount of weight for small flies.
