Synopses & Reviews
Most anglers only dream about catching brown and rainbow trout over eight pounds, cutthroats over five pounds, or brook trout over four pounds, but Big Trout considers these sizes as the minimum standard for trophy fish.
In Big Trout, Bernie Taylor explains how and why certain trout grow to trophy dimensions, what they eat and when, and the mind-set and equipment necessary to bring them in. He discusses scientific experimentation that has proven certain fly patterns and color choices are more effective, allowing anglers to apply this research to any fishing situation. This is a book that all trout hunters - from beginner to expert - will come back to again and again.
Review
"Big Trout is just what many fly fishers have been waiting for."--
FlyFisher Review
"Bernie Taylor has trodden on many angling shibboleths and confirmed some others. He has written a new trophy-fishing
vade mecum. It will help many anglers follow their Yellow Brick Road to the great trout who wait out there for our offerings."
