I love this book. It contains great information about when and why trout feed, yes. It has a nice section with great pencil sketches intended to help a beginner learn how to read water. But mostly, I just love the writing itself, and what it says about the curious spirit of the author. It's intelligent, clear, and concise. This is the kind of fly fisherman I aspire to be.
Excellent book for understanding trout behavior

I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to gain a better understanding of how and where trout live and feed. This guy has done his homework and teaches you how to "read the water". Well worth reading.
The Ways of Trout
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
If you're looking for a book that gives you details about the way trout live and feed, this is it. The author does a fine job of converting his years of experience on rivers and streams into words. Although my wife mocks me, I've read it numerous times. Certainly not a book for the casual reader, but it's helped me as a fly-fisherman to better know how and where trout feed, meaning more successful days on the water.
