Lake Fishing with a Fly

by Ron Cordes; Randall Kaufmann

Fly fishing lakes is fun and easy. Where else can you stalk big, surface-slurping trout amid uncrowded and often spectacular surroundings? Lakes are usually more generous than streams, and a productive lake is usually close to home. Once you have a successful lake fishing experience, you will want more. A basic understanding of lakes and the feeding habits of fish sets you up to enjoy some of the most exciting fresh-water angling to be found.

Lake Fishing With a Fly tells you how to "read" lakes and explains their physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. It is loaded with presentation techniques and fishing strategy, plus and extensive treatment of food sources, including forage fish, midge, damsel, scud, caddis, mayfly, and leech. Loaded with information, diagrams, illustrations, and photos, Lake Fishing With a Fly is recognized as the best work on the subject. This book is guaranteed to save you decades of struggling and frustration, and propel you into the 10 percent of anglers who catch 90 percent of the fish.
