Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is not about trout rigs as one would think from the title and chapter layout. It is a situational analysis, (primarily moving water), with some bits of information about leaders, methods and presentations. Even though the page headings begin with a rig name, there is usually little information about that rig.
I am disappointed; enough to feel that I wasted $13.57.
The book's content headings are poorly done. One does wonder why after so much effort to write so much, the author or editor couldn't take the time and trouble to page number all of the headings. Yeah, there are gems of information in the book; they are buried deep in wordy and frequently obtuse paragraphs and further lost in the un-numbered subchapters.
Again, I wonder just what the editor did in publishing this book. The writing wanders and there are blatant errors; for example, how does one get from step 2 to step 3 in tying the surgeon's loop on page 29? Answer: you can't; drawing two is incorrect. Drawing 3 is correct so follow it.
If you are looking for one book that describes many trout fishing situations and offers possible solutions (e.g. high sticking short pockets and runs, page 182) then perhaps this book will give you a rough idea of what you are facing and name some techniques that will help. If you are looking for specifics on trout rigs from leader theory to varied methods of constructing multiple fly droppers (especially with more than two flies), you will not find it in this book
I feel that the author has an incredible amount of information and experience he is trying to convey. But this book loses clarity when it reduces complex fishing situations to a couple of pages of rambling descriptions and solutions. These situations, techniques and methods deserve their own chapters, not just a few paragraphs.
