Some things never change. Trout eat royal coachman dries. Anglers will wiggle a new fly rod. A fish rising to a dry fly is thrilling.

And solid fly fishing instruction is timeless.

Joe Humphreys’ On the Trout Stream with Joe Humphreys is  a great example. Written in 1989, it addresses nymphing and fishing dries with a precision and sophistication that make it still relevant over 45 years later. Bursting at the seams with photography, Humphreys breaks down the intricate aspects of presentation in such a way that the reader gets all the component parts necessary.

Humphreys is still actively involved in fly fishing. But his voice will continue to speak to anglers through this book.
