RESERVOIR FLY FISHING BOOKS

RESERVOIR TROUT AUTOPSIES

Valuable Information Straight from the Fish’s Mouth

Adrian V W Freer

​

Employing imitations of the natural creatures that the trout are targeting is undoubtedly the most satisfying and rewarding method of fly fishing for reservoir trout. On many occasions it can be by far the most productive.

​

In order to choose the correct artificial the angler needs to be able to identify the creatures that the fish are feeding on, know which patterns imitate them, and understand how each one should be presented.

​

Performing an autopsy is a quick and straightforward procedure that enables anglers to identify positively, without any doubt, precisely what the fish have been ingesting in those vital few moments prior to capture. More than fifty large scale autopsies are reproduced in full colour to assist in identification.

​

This volume will help anglers perform autopsies for themselves and in addition there are suggestions of what artificial flies might be employed to copy all the reservoir creatures likely to be encountered.
