When fishing becomes challenging, fly fishermen may be enticed to employ larger, more eye-catching flies, but seasoned angler Ed Engle understands that tiny, sparsely dressed flies frequently produce results when nothing else will. By paying close attention to the tying of the flies and the fishing technique, fly fishermen can successfully catch trout on flies as small as 24, 28, and even 30. In this updated and second-edition volume, Engle combines his two classic books on small fly tying and fishing into a single comprehensive resource. He covers the patterns and techniques for fishing them, including how to locate and observe trout in small-fly water, evaluate the major small-fly hatches, fish the surface and below, and successfully strike, play, and land trout on tiny flies. Engle also delves into the history of small-fly fishing, discussing how the flies have evolved over time. The book includes a comprehensive section on tying tools, special materials, specific patterns for aquatic insects, tying techniques, and a complete complement of patterns.

By mastering the art of tying small flies and employing the appropriate fishing techniques, fly fishermen can unlock the hidden secrets of small-fly water and enjoy successful fishing experiences even in the most challenging conditions. Whether fishing for trout in small streams, rivers, or lakes, this book provides valuable insights and practical advice to help anglers achieve their goals. So, whether you are a beginner or an experienced fly fisherman, be sure to add this essential guide to your collection and take your small-fly fishing to the next level.
