Strip-Set : Fly-Fishing Techniques, Tactics, & Patterns for Streamers

Some anglers think that stripping a Woolly Bugger across-stream is the only way to fish streamers, but streamer fishing can include a wide range of patterns and techniques, from swinging baitfish imitations and dead-drifting leeches to waking mice patterns across the surface. Like dry-fly anglers matching the hatch, streamer anglers need to understand the behaviour and characteristics of the large forage items they're imitating if they want to be successful. Strip-Set is a comprehensive book on tactics for streamers, including new approaches for trout, steelhead, muskie, and bass. World-champion fly fisher George Daniel shares his knowledge of the exciting world of streamer fishing and helps readers develop a set of skills that will be effective anywhere in the world. Patterns from several of the most prominent contemporary streamer tiers, including Blane Chocklett, Kelly Galloup, Rich Strolis, Ben Furimsky, Mike Schmidt, Russ Maddin, and more. Step-by-step photos to help you master casting and presentation. Sections on reading the water, trout behaviour, equipment, casting, and night fishing. Features over 450 detailed photos and illustrations.
