"American Trout Stream Insects" was written by Louis Rhead more than one hundred years ago. We are republishing this rare gem in its original form and format, retaining its antiquarian charm. Covering diverse topics including Why It Is Best to Copy Nature, System and Classification, The Artificial Fly of Commerce, Trout Flies of April - When Insects First Appear, Trout Insects for May, Some Trout Insects for August, The Making of an Artificial Fly, and many, many more. The first American book of it's kind, it was written with an obvious passion and knowledge and is the ultimate gift for all trout fishing enthusiasts. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections, blurring or minor shadows in the page background. This book appears exactly as it did when it was first published.
