Trout Hunting is for those who take flyfishing's traditions seriously, and for whom it is more than just a pastime. Bob Wyatt gets to the heart of the matter in a book packed with insight and challenges to conventional thinking. Well known to readers of Fly Fishing & Fly Tying magazine, Wyatt presents a wide-ranging and entertaining investigation of some of fly-fishing's central mysteries, including a fresh look at the theory of the 'selective trout'. Trout Hunting will help get your strategies organised and inspire reflection on the nature of this fascinating pursuit.

My only regret is that I waited so long before buying this book. It is a modern classic and deserves to be classed with the great fishing books of our time. Wyatt has an extraordinary insight to the world of the trout and his simple but accurate observations of trout behaviour and the flies needed to deceive them go straight to the heart of the matter. Not everyone will completely agree with him but this book contains so much knowledge and just plain good fishing sense that it is hard to take it all in in one reading. You will find that you will pick it up time and time again.

Bob writes well in Fly Fishing and Fly Tying magazine.....his articles are always insightful and his actual fly tying is superb. I had the pleasure of fishing recently with Bob and he gave me a couple of flies....well did those flies not catch me the nicest wild brownie of the whole season. I've since tied up a fair few of them myself and they are pretty much all I use now. Bobs philosophy these days it seems is keep it simple....and it works. On talking about his book he said that it was his philosophy on fly fishing.......well he writes a good yarn and has fished long enough to be philosophical about it so that's pretty much good enough for me to buy this book just in time for the close season.....to while away those winter nights waiting for spring.....a great gift for a new fly fisherman or an oldie I am sure :)

I have read nearly all trout fishing books and this is right up there with the best of them. This is in every sense a modern classic and an essential part of any trout fisher's library.

A great read
Having met this man on a few occassions i know he knows what he is talking about, a very knowledgable New zealander who lived and fished Scotland for many years. Enjoy the book.

An excellent book but not what it might appear.
I'm afraid I have to disagree with the other reviewers of this book, if only so other purchasers go in with their eyes open. Read more
