An effective ensemble of flies that will take the fly fisher through the season in the upper Midwest and beyond. The angler will learn which patterns to carry and when to carry them – whether on a YEAR-ROUND or SEASONAL basis. The patterns are described in detail with material lists, TYING NOTES, color photographs and illustrations. For each pattern the author provides his personal FISHING NOTES which are the result of over 40 years of fly-fishing experience. Author – Ross Mueller
