Summary

No one has studied midges more intently than Don Holbrook. For 25 years he has scoured the limestone streams of central Pennsylvania, gathering and cataloguing specimens, studying them under the microscope, and creating patterns to match every nuance of colour, structure, and size. No one is as adept at fishing midges as Ed Koch, who literally wrote the book on the subject. Holbrook and Koch here combine to present the definitive work on tying and fishing the tiny naturals with which you can catch trout virtually all year long.

Author Biography

The late Ed Koch was a fly-fishing guide, writer, and lecturer. He lived in southcentral Pennsylvania where he was active in groups including Trout Unlimited and the Pennsylvania Fly Fishing Association.
