River Trout Streamer Fishing by Theo Pike

Flyfishing for trout with streamers - fly patterns that mimic small fish and other prey species - is skilled, innovative, tactical, and incredibly exciting. So why is it still under-appreciated by many anglers? Theo Pike explores the exhilarating possibilities of hunting wild trout with streamers, from a uniquely UK and European angle, and celebrates a growing subculture of flyfishers who prove that fishing imitative streamers for trout can perfectly complement dry-fly and nymph fishing. Includes: Trout streamer fishing history, flies, tackle and techniques; Understanding predatory trout and other salmonids - where they live, what they eat, and why; Masterclasses and signature streamers from 20 experts across the UK and Europe (Iiro Anttonen, Oliver Edwards, Paul Gaskell, Rok Lustrik, Keith McDonnell, Roman Moser, Pete Tyjas and many more); Streamer fishing knots with Don Stazicker.
