Stillwaters not only provide opportunities for catching some of the largest trout in the United States, but they also offer dependable fishing conditions, particularly in the early season (from ice-out to after runoff), for anglers in regions like New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, California, Oregon, and Washington. Many anglers choose to fish lakes after river flows drop to experience epic hatches of midges, Callibaetis mayflies, and damselflies, all of which provide exceptional fly fishing for large trout. Stillwater Fly Fishing: Competition-Inspired Strategies for Everyday Anglers is the definitive guide to fly fishing lakes and reservoirs, written by the author of the best-selling book Tactical Fly Fishing. This is the only book available that covers competition and loch-style techniques used worldwide.
