JOE HUMPHREYS'S TROUT TACTICS is a systematic approach to, the thinking man's sport, trout flyfishing based on 80,000 hours of trout stream experience. Following the very informative preface, the following subjects are covered: 1) Finding Trout--a matter of degrees; 2) Nymph Fishing--getting to the bottom; 3) Wet Flies--a new look at old techniques; 4) Streamers--matching minnows; 5) Dry Flies--seeing is believing; 6) Brush Fishing--the dry fly and small streams; and 7) Night Fishing--the big ones come out at night. In 1978 Joe Humphreys claimed the Pennsylvaina state record for a brown trout taken with the patterns and techniques detailed in this book. Illustrated with George Lavanish's line drawings, Joe's techniques for fishing wet flies, dries, and nyphs offer a refreshing look at flyfishing today. "Joe Humphreys is a complete angler," says George Harvey in his introduction. This is his book.
