Most small-fly books concentrate
on the fly patterns, but presentation and tactics are just as important as the
pattern itself. Small-fly fishers must carefully observe the trout and
constantly adjust their techniques as they go. Engle covers the difficulty of
detecting strikes and how to best play trout caught on small flies and gives
advice on the aquatic insect orders and how to fish the hatches, depending on
the water and the stage of the hatch. Covered too are special considerations for
rods and reels for small-fly fishing and tactics for light tippets. Engle
describes fishing specific waters, including tailwaters, freestone rivers, and
spring creeks.
