Trout Maverick: Fly-Fishing Heresies and Tactics

by Leonard M. Wright Jr.

Trout Maverick is a full collection of the finest lore and theory taken from sixty years of fly fishing by one of America's most independent, challenging, and original angling writers. Len Wright's "heresies" are becoming well accepted, as they are brilliant fish-taking techniques. Some of these fishing a dry fly with a slight, upstream twitch; tying floating caddis imitations with hackle-fiber wings; dancing a dropper down-current; using extra-long fly rods; demonstrating that wet flies are superior to nymphs; and dozens of others. Everyone can learn from Len Wright's years of study and commitment - always to what works in fly fishing, not merely what is habit or even tradition. (61/4 X 91/4, 228 pages, illustrations)

I think that this was just a boring book too read and I think that was not that much interesting thingy to me about the book. I also think that there was no fun or interesting things going on in this book. but there was some good things like tips and tricks.
there was not really a quote in the book that was really that I like there was not that much about quotes at all it was just a book on how to fish.
In all I think that it was a OK book to read it was very helpful but It was just very boring to me.
