"Nymph fishing has revolutionised angling in New Zealand, and this book has played a leading part in the revolution. Now in an updated edition with important new advice including the latest nymph patterns, commentary on the nymph revolution at Taupo, and many other practical hints on how to trick the wily trout, [this book] will be welcomed by a whole new generation of anglers." "A close study of the life of streams and lakes convinced Tony Orman that nymphs are a trout's staple diet. 'Present the trout with what it feeds on,' he says, 'and you are half way to success.' With many delightful instances drawn from his own observation, with instruction on the tying of nymph patterns, Tony Orman shows how this success may be achieved. His book is valuable for its practical advice. In addition, the author takes us on a fascinating journey to mountain streams and remote lakes in both the North and South Islands of New Zealand, a journey that captures the rewards and joyful uncertainties of trout-fishing at its best." Chapters include: Why fish nymph; Tackle requirements; Basic entomology; Match the hatch; In the evening; Nymphs in the surface film; Tying artificials; Supernormal releasers; The horn nymph; Nymph patterns; Life in the nymph?; When and where; Stalking and spotting; Summer days with the nymph; Nymphs in lakes; Fishing backwaters; Water hydraulics; Fishing the fast water; The threadline and nymph; By other means; A lesson for the day; Summer browns; Back-country trout; The fair dinkum truth! Appendices on basic fly tying by the author and matching the natural by Charles R.H. Nott. .
