Synopsis

Don't translate your success or lack of success fishing these days to ""increased pressure"" caused by a growing number of anglers on the water. Learn how to respond to today's tougher conditions with better techniques and more awareness to what is happening around you. Author and fly fishing guide, John Huber addresses this dilemma faced by the new-millennium angler through an engaging story about two friends, Jerry and Bobby, in pursuit of that ever-elusive fish, Terrence. Throughout Bobby's quest to catch Terrence, Jerry, the veteran angler of the two, shares hints and suggestions about technique, from how to identify what trout feed on to which knot will increase Bobby's chances and yours of hooking ""the big one"" that always gets away. You too will benefit from Jerry's pearls of wisdom and enjoy an entertaining tale about friendship, a passion of trout and keeping a sense of humor.

There was a quick burst of water, Bobby set the hook, but no one was home. In an instant, the big bow had gone to the depths of the back eddy, panicked by the feel of the line on his body....Jerry thought he knew what had happened with the big bow in the morning, but was waiting for Bobby to ask. ..."I can see that you cast very well Bobby, I think the problem here is an issue with knots. It is not uncommon for beginning anglers to start the easy way, often favoring the easy-to-tie Surgeons Knot over a hard-to-learn, but easy-to-tie Blood Knot. It usually becomes a habit that few anglers change, even as their skill level increases in all other areas."—From Chapter Two,"Knots and Short Lines"
