RESERVOIR TROUT FLIES

An Angler’s Guide to Successful Fly Patterns

Adrian V W Freer

The purpose of this invaluable and comprehensive book is two fold. Firstly, to discuss the design and dressing of reservoir trout flies with a view to understanding how they actually appear to the trout. Secondly, to provide a reference guide to the most popular and successful reservoir fly patterns in use today.

  • Discusses the design of artificial flies with supporting photographs showing their appearance and behaviour beneath the water.

  • Presents the dressings over 270 fly patterns divided into nymphs, wet flies, lures (including fry patterns), dry flies & emergers, and terrestrials.

  • For ease of reference a photograph of each fly, the dressing menu, a list of variants and comments on each individual pattern are all shown on the same page.

  • Provides a comprehensive ‘on the bench’ reference handbook for both the amateur and professional fly tyer.

Offers helpful advice to anglers contemplating tying their own flies for the first time.

Includes over 380 colour photographs together with diagrams and tables.

SOME BOOK REVIEWS

 

'The perfect complement to his earlier work, Adrian Freer has penned the perfect handbook for anyone looking to arm himself for an assault on our reservoirs'

                    Trout Fisherman

 

'This wonderful book about reservoir trout flies by Adrian V W Freer is a must-read for anyone looking to improve as an angler and fly tyer. All the information you need is there on how to tie each pattern and, even better, how and when to fish with it'

                    Total Flyfisher

 

'We know Mr Freer from his previous works, a good, reliable chap who knows his fish, his fishing and his flies. He is frequent visitor to Eyebrook, where he has taken some splendid fish. He even has a photo of Andy Miller stocking a big trout. So we know we can depend upon his flies, that is, the flies he has already tied, shown in his book, and he tells you how you can tie them'
