Catching Big Fish on Light Fly Tackle, written by Tom Wendelberg with Jeff Mayers, is a book to be savored and re-read, for it distills decades of fly-fishing knowledge. Catching Big Fish includes Wendelburg's philosophy of using light tackle, his insights on surface and underwater tactics, discussions of his favorite fish (trout, bass, bluegills, salmon, and steelhead) and of his favorite flies, including much-admired fly patterns that he developed (Wendelburg's Hare's Ear Scud and his no-hackle hairwing dry fly). Wendelberg is a consummate fisherman and a first-rate teacher, and his enthusiasm is infectious. Foreward by Doug Swisher, coauthor of Fly Fishing Strategy and Selective Trout. Catching Big Fish on Light Fly Tackle is available in your choice of paperback or cloth cover.
