ABOUT
The book revolutionized how anglers approach underwater fly fishing by bridging biological science with practical stream tactics.
Borger breaks down complex limnology and trout behavior into simple, non-scientific identification rules that help everyday fishers read the water, choose patterns, and successfully present artificial flies.
Key subjects covered include identifying natural aquatic insect larvae based on simple, visible body traits--step-by-step guidance on creating highly realistic artificial nymphs--specialised casting styles, line mending techniques, and methods for detecting subtle underwater strikes
Illustrated throughout with monochrome fine line drawings.
