Big Trout: How and Where to Target Trophies

by Bernie Taylor, Ian Forbes (Illustrations), John Randolph (Foreword)

Most anglers only dream about catching brown and rainbow trout over eight pounds, cutthroats over five pounds, or brook trout over four pounds, but Big Trout considers these sizes as the minimum standard for trophy fish. This innovative book expands the boundaries of fishing with ideas, patterns, and techniques designed specifically to target big trout.

Taylor discusses how and why certain trout grow to trophy dimensions, what they eat and when, and the mind-set and equipment necessary to bring them in.

He also gives anglers a blueprint for tracking large trout. For instance, instead of simply listing effective color choices for fly patterns and lure selection, he shows how and why scientific experimentation has proven that these choices are more effective, allowing anglers to apply this research to any fishing situation they encounter.

Big Trout will unquestionably change the way you fish. It is a book that all trout hunters, from beginner to expert, will come back to again and again.

This book chronicles everything that you would want to know in order to catch big trout. I really appreciated all of the scientific inquiry from everything to trout smell, trout environments, trout sight, etc.
