"The Compleat Schwiebert is a journey of discovery along America's premier trout streams in twenty-eight tales of unparalleled adventure and learning. This major new collection is a superlative compendium of trout lore from the Catskills to the Cascades, in the U.S. and abroad, from a man whose career has revolutionized American trout fishing. The three carefully selected sections of this treasury are virtually books unto themselves. 'Great Waters' shares a lifetime of experience and exploration on our most famous trout haunts, bringing new tactics to legendary brooks, streams, and rivers that will improve your angling abilities no matter where you go. 'A Hatch to Match' offers much new information on imitating insects upon which trout feed, often the key to catching difficult and highly selective fish. Schwiebert pioneered this most valuable concept in trout fishing, and more than forty years of his research are reflected in these pages. 'Edges and Eddies' mirrors the quiet spots in a river's currents, and, in this book, comprises a contemplative section where Schwiebert's incomparable literary style shines as bright as the riffles he fishes. Here you'll find the lure as well as the lore of trout fishing brought to life by a master of evocative detail. Every section of this book has been carefully chosen and annotated by Schwiebert's long-time editor and friend, John Merwin, himself a nationally recognized angling authority." .
