FLY FISHING THE LAKES. By Rex Gerlach.

1972 1st edition. Ppxx,171. B/w photographs and illustrations, bibliography. Blue cloth.

"The lakes, ponds, reservoirs and impoundments that dot the American landscape provide vast opportunity for fishing. In fact, they are the last great source of relatively uncrowded waters for the ever increasing number of inland fly fishermen faced with diminishing stream fishing opportunities. With the development of sinking fly lines designed specifically to carry flies deeply and rapidly down to the fish, lake fishing is a new challenge, varied and exciting. In this unique volume Rex Gerlach describes the lake environment, where and how to catch sport fish, and why lake species behave as they do".
