Stillwater Fly Fishing: Tools & Tactics
by Paul C Marriner

Stillwater is divided into three parts: Getting Ready, Finding Fish, Tactics and Flies, with the latter occupying more than half the book. Getting Ready covers tackle recommendations, various watercraft suitable for fly-fishing including tips for equipping, and standard and innovative retrieves. Finding Fish explains the three major sets of clues for finding fish—structure, wind, and foodforms—and a potpourri of others such as birds. Tactics and Flies describes approaches and patterns used on the stillwaters of three continents to solve scores of presentation problems. No matter is the fish are visible or out of sight, shallow or deep, cruising or in ambush, feeding on chironomids or baitfish, here are ways and the flies to catch them.

Paul Marriner is the author of hundreds of articles and several books about fly fishing. Stillwater Fly Fishing: Tools & Tactics presents his approach to fly fishing the world of stillwaters based on 35+ years of experiences on three continents. Also available from Gale’s End Press is a slip-cased, hardbound, limited edition of Stillwater Fly Fishing and Paul’s other titles.
