Series: Favorite Flies
Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and the surrounding region, has some of the best wild brook and brown trout fishing in the United States. It is also home to a rich tradition of fly tying, giving rise to many patterns designed not only for the tumbling mountain streams that characterize the region, but also for some of the highly selective fish in the state’s many catch and release trout streams.

Each chapter features a stunning macro image of the fly, a detailed recipe, and practical fishing information. In addition, author Kevin Howell explains the stories behind many of the flies, making this book an invaluable resource for anyone planning to visit the region as well as residents that want to learn how to catch more fish in their local waters.
