FISHING SMARTER FOR TROUT
by Tony Bishop
No matter how you fish for trout -- fly fishing, spinning, jigging, trolling or harling -- this book will help you catch fish more often.
"Here is a piece of information all fishermen need to know -- at any one time, trout are found in less than 10% of the water they live in -- often in much less than 10%. This is an important piece of information. In any river, stream or lake, only 10% or less of all that water will contain trout."
If you want to become one of the 10% of fishermen who catch 90% of the fish, you need to know where trout can be found more often, and then how to fish for them when you find them.

FLIES THAT CATCH TROUT: THE NEW ZEALAND ANGLER'S WATERSIDE GUIDE
by Laurence Christie
Starting with the insects that trout eat, it identifies which flies were developed to represent each of the many things that trout eat.

Handy charts show which flies are best at different times of the year and in what sort of water -- mountain stream, creek, stillwater etc. Colour pictures of each of the flies help the angler to recognise which fly they should use and the text which accompanies each of the pictures identifies the natural, best size to use, where to fish it, what time of year it will work best and how to fish the fly. An innovative approach to fly selection.

STALKING & CATCHING TROUT
by Les Hill & Graeme Marshall with line drawings by Grant Winter
Fishing to sighted trout is one of the most exciting forms of trout fishing, but fishing to a trout is not enough - the aim is to catch it.
Les Hill and Graeme Marshall have combined their talents once again after a more than ten year gap to jointly write what is destined to become a New Zealand Classic.

The first time they collaborated was in 1984 when they co-wrote Stalking Trout they followed up in 1991 with Catching Trout and Images of Silver in 1993. It is a testament to the ideas they contain that all have been continually in print since publication. Stalking Trout has been reprinted over twelve times.
