Fishing the Midge

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0883950170, Hardcover)

Some of the smallest aquatic insects figure prominently into the diets of the biggest, most elusive trout; the midge is such an insect. Fishing these tiny flies--whether as nymphs or dries--requires fine tippets and skilled casts. Fishing the Midge was welcomed by a small, dedicated following of midge fly-fishers when it debuted in 1972; since then it has become a classic, and a whole new school of fly-fishing has grown up around it. The revised edition includes updated information for tying and fishing midge (and related) patterns.
