<li>Choosing the right line and rod for small stream fishing</li>
<li>How and where to find trout in pools, curves, trenches, riffles, runs, or behind boulders</li>
<li>Nymphs and dry flies, streamers and soft-hackled wet fliesIn his newest book, Dave Hughes covers all aspects of fly fishing for trout on small streams. He describes how fishing is different on mountain, freestone, and meadow streams and how to develop skills for each. He covers the gear, including what to put in a small stream fly box. Hughes' advice on casting technique is especially useful because trees and brush often require different kinds of casts for small streams.

<li>The authoritative book on nymphs</li>
<li>Step-by-step instructions for 112 useful nymph flies</li>
<li>More than 900 photos of natural nymphs, their imitations, and steps in tying those fliesNymphs for Streams and Stillwaters provides a sound understanding of the relationship between naturals and their imitations, and between those imitations and the trout. You'll learn what nymphs you should spend your time tying, you'll learn how to tie them, and most important, you'll learn where and how to fish them in order to catch more trout.
Nymphs for Streams and Stillwaters is broken logically into four parts. The first part is an introduction to the way nymphing shapes itself with notes on streamside and lakeside observation, nymph selection based on what you observe, and recommendations on tools and materials for both basic and advanced methods for tying nymphs that take trout. The second part deals with the selection and detailed tying of all sorts of effective searching nymph patterns for moving water. The third part examines imitative nymphs for moving waters, tightly relating naturals to their imitations. The fourth part covers stillwater nymphs. Trout are ore often selective in lakes and ponds, and the things they eat in stillwaters are often unlike trout foods in rivers and streams.
Hughes takes a subject that has been considered complex and confusing and makes it understandable, presenting the information that you really need to improve your tying and your fishing. Nymphs for Streams and Stillwaters is destined to be the step-by-step reference to tying and fishing every nymph you'll ever need. Filled with good advice from a trusted master of the subject, it is the most thorough and enjoyable book about selecting, tying, and fishing nymphs that has ever been written.

An Angler's Astoria

Praise for the first edition
"Hughes' thesis seems to be that angling is a rare pleasure to be shared in print as well as enjoyed in person." --Steve Raymond, Flyfisher
"His views on conservation are especially refreshing with a depth of historical perspective and a clean line of reasoning that will grab your understanding first, then your emotions, unlike much of the standard rhetoric that omits that first step." --John Gierach
"An Angler's Astoria is full of the youthful exuberance of its author and his Pacific Northwest. Among so many books of doleful reminiscence (written by young men), Hughes's stories are oases." --Fly Fisherman 
"Like his more formal works, An Angler's Astoria contains many lessons, the kind you come by honestly, if you grow up fishing a place you learn to love--homewaters, or heartwaters as it were--and ultimately become an aquatic entomologist-cum-expert fly fisher." --Seth Norman, California Fly Fisher
<li>New edition of one of the books that launched Dave Hughes' career</li>
<li>1st edition published by Frank Amato in 1982</li>
<li>New preface and a substantive, new, unpublished piece, Life Cycles</li>
<li>A reflective, exuberant collection of stories and essays about Hughes' home water near his hometown, Astoria, Oregon </li>

What defines a small stream? For Dave Hughes, it's not size but "that sense of intimacy" you get when you can observe the whole stream and "feel that you're a large and integral part of it." Hughes draws on his years of experience to teach you everything you need to know about fishing small streams, from choosing rods and flies to reading the weather and water. Hughes knows that successful fly fishing is more than just catching the most or the biggest fish. Small streams provide the opportunity for exploration and discovery--in addition to the fish. This second edition contains new chapters on reading the seasons and tenkara and is superbly illustrated with more than 100 new color photos.

Three well-known fly fishers (and friends) come together to share the solid technical know-how they've learned from years of fishing the ever-elusive trout.
<li>Chapters cover fishing with nymphs, dry and wet flies, emergers, streamers, and more</li>
<li>Enhanced with more than 200 full-color photos and QR codes that link to video segments</li>
<li>Authors recount their personal experiences with fussy trout, tactics and presentation, choosing fly rods, and organizing their fly boxes</li>
