Trout

Shipped very quick and in very good condition. It’s nice to have for your collection. Very nice read and shows the plates with a list of all the materials need to tie all these great looking flies still used today. Give a lot of information on a lot on fishing and about Ray Bergman the behind the tying vise. Will be back for more great books like this. Thank you, Ken

Many of the tactics still used by today's trout fishermen were first documented almost 80 years ago by Mr. Bergman in this book. This is the consummate reference book about trout fishing for trout fishermen, and it is written in an easy-to-read story-telling type style. One can easily learn by reading it for pleasure without even realizing you are gaining knowledge and insight. Some parts of the book are more instructive, especially regarding types of flies, fly patterns, and where and when they are most effective. Other parts can almost be viewed as historical relative to where Mr. Bergman was fishing and how he fared. Through it all, Mr. Bergman presents the information not as an expert, but as a fellow fisherman sharing what he has learned from his many years of fishing. It is an incredible book especially considering it is still relevant today, more than half a century since it was first published.

TROUT, The Trout Fisherman's Bible, by Ray Bergman is a complete history of the author's immersion into the relm of matching wits with trout.The original 1938 publication has been greatly added to for the 1966-2000 revisions.If you like evolutions and history this is an absorbing book. I particularly like the late author's detailed descriptions on how he developed his respect and methods to entice trout throughout North American waters.The color plates of flies are beautifully depicted and the drawings of fishing techniques and knots are well done. There are some outmoded practices described, like using gut leader and parafin dissolved in unleaded gasoline to make fly cleaner flotant.Some of the author's fishing practices revived my appreciation of the legendary fishers in my family. It is a readable instructive book. I also liked the trade paper cover with a beautiful brown trout.

Great source of information going back almost a hundred years, also contains recipes for a few hundred of the most relevant flies of the past. Good read, great library source.

My husband had a copy of this book years ago but lost it. He is a fly tieing fisherman and wanted a book that showed how to tie a particular fly and what it should look like as a finished product. His original book from years ago had COLORED illustrations of the finished fly in it. The book I just received from Amazon had black and white pictures in it. The introduction in this book made reference to the beautiful COLORED illustrations, yet they were black and white. You can't tell from the pics in this book whether you have created a good fly or not. He was highly disappointed and I returned the book.My original request to Amazon was "Is this particular book a fluke or is this now how it is being printed?" My only response was that I could return the book if I was not satisfied.

a timeless portal into the mind of one of the best fly fishing authors.

A life time of hard learned Trout fishing lessons are related like your Dad or favorite uncle taking you under his fly fishing wing. Think you’d like fly fishing for Trout, or want to expand your knowledge, or give a special gift this is it.

Reading and learning from those who were 70+ years ahead of ones planet earths visit is humbling. My fishing hat is off to Ray for putting his experiences and knowledge on paper for future generations to learn from. When you think you know everything about a subject, you will be quickly scoffed at, by the fish!

Poor illustrations of the flies. Most people buying this will do so for the fly patterns.

The author was mentioned in another ebook on trout fishing so I quicly downloaded Bergman's" Trout"I have already noted some fifyeen tips that will improve my fishing. Great read!

This book is pure insult to Ray Bergmans art in fly tying,all the pictures in black/white.

Super pour le livre.
