In full color, The Orvis Guide to Finding Trout is a brand-new book from Tom Rosenbauer and the Orvis Company. Most beginners (and many experts) are mystified when faced with a new river or changing conditions on their home river. And if they can’t predict where trout might be, they lose confidence and fish poorly. This book is about how to find trout in all types of water, at all seasons. But it’s also about what methods and flies may work best in each water type.
