'Readily accessible to most fly anglers and often producing fish of trophy proportions, stillwaters are among the most productive, but also the most challenging, trout waters in which to wet a line. Ponds and lakes undergo many moods and changes throughout the year. Fishing them requires in-depth knowledge of how and where trout feed in stillwaters in the different seasons, as well as the proper equipment, techniques, and fly patterns necessary to insure consistent success under changing circumstances.
The stillwater fly fisher requires specialized strategies to catch fish. Lepage describes where fish are likely to be in various kinds of lakes at different seasons and different times of day. He tells how to approach fish without spooking them and what casts and gear will be best in any situation. He explains how clear, calm water can heighten a fish's senses, how to use a sinking line, which flies to use, and which strategies to try when no others work. Cautious fish usually get very big, and with this practical little guide, anglers everywhere will be able to get their fair share of wary lunkers.
In The Orvis Pocket Guide to Fly Fishing for Stillwater Trout, Jim Lepage, longtime tackle designer, fly tyer, and stillwater expert, demystifies the challenges of lakes and ponds, which can seem huge and overwhelming until you know how to approach them correctly.
In a concise and down-to-earth style, Lepage covers fly rods suitable for stillwaters; sinking, floating, and specialty fly lines and when to use each; how to choose leaders and tippet materials wisely; and explains why sunglasses may be one of your most important pieces of equipment.
