Fishing Small Streams with a Fly-Rod

Charles R. Meck

In this long-awaited book, master fly-fisherman Charles Meck explains everything you need to know about the special techniques of fly-fishing small streams, including:

  • Finding and rating productive streams

  • Selecting rods, reels, lines, and leaders

  • Small-stream casting techniques-including Meck's innovative "bow-and-arrow cast"

  • What hatches to expect--and when--on small streams

  • Tying buoyant and visible dry flies for small steams-as well as nymphs, wet flies, and terrestrials

  • Improving fishing on your favorite streams

    •

    "Charlie Meck has done a first-rate job of presenting the intricacies of small-stream fishing."
    —Jack Russell, American Angler
