Tailwaters provide extraordinary year-round fishing, but you have to know how to fish them. In Fly Fishing Tailwaters - Tactics and Patterns for Year-Round Waters, tailwater expert angler and guide Pat Dorsey provides the tips and tactics you need to succeed in these challenging waters. The author explains how tailwaters work. He describes the hatches, season by season, and provides 60 fly patterns for some of the best imitation flies to use in every season and every circumstance. His detailed tips on how to "read the river" and how to "read the fish" are straight from his years of experience guiding and fishing some of the most fascinating water in the country.
This book contains chapters on nymphing, dry-fly, and streamer tactics. Thorough explanations of surface and subsurface tactics, clearly illustrated by artist Dave Hall, help anglers understand how to catch these finicky trout. Packed with information on the ecology of tailwaters, including the behavior of midges, mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies, and anything else that a trout might eat, every tailwater angler will find this book valuable.
Orvis-endorsed guide Pat Dorsey has been guiding for more than ten years. He spends at least 200 days a year on the stream. Pat is also a master flytier who has been commercially tying flies for more than fifteen years, producing up to 28,000 flies a year. Active in Trout Unlimited and the conservation of cold-water fisheries, Pat has won the annual Master Fly Tournament in Cheesman Canyon five out of eight years. Pat, his wife Kim, and their five children reside in Parker, Colorado.
