In this book, you will discover all we've learnt about watercraft - and more importantly - how to use it, to help you get more from your all too limited time on the water.
The term "watercraft" refers to how water moves, flows, and influences a fish’s behaviour. Having a basic knowledge of this allows you to read the water, helping you predict where the fish should be, how they’ll react, and the best approach to use to catch them.
The way you cast, the fly you eventually select, and the water conditions of the river or stillwater all play their part in (hopefully) connecting you with a fish.
One of the most powerful skills you can develop as a fly angler isn’t related to choosing the correct technique or equipment - it’s about understanding the water itself.
When you understand watercraft, you can read the river as a fish does, gaining insight into how factors like current, temperature, oxygen levels, and even light affect fish behaviour.
In this book, we explore the essential elements of watercraft (for both rivers and stillwaters, as they are very different) and how by learning to read the water you can take your fly fishing to a new level.
We've done loads of research (and plenty of fishing) and distilled the information into this next in our series of FLY: books.
