Fly Fishing for Rainbows by Rex Gerlach is like a series of private lessons with a fly fisher who has taken 40.000 rainbows from north Georgia to Alaska. The reader will learn to identify the prime lake and stream waters that hold rainbow trout, including steelhead. He will discover effective fundamentals and fine points that take rainbow trout on artificial flies. Instructions are heavily illustrated with photographs, many with graphic overlays that show how to read water currents and spot trout positions, and line drawings.
