Ok gents I need a read to take on holiday, any recommendations for an instructional Fly fishing for trout, mainly stillwater book, thanks

I found this one helpful when first starting out. It still has a place on my reading list occasionally

STILLWATER FLIES: HOW AND WHEN TO FISH THEM. Goddard (John) & others. 0713655356 | All Fishing Books | Coch-y-Bonddu Books

Carried it in full, then carry it out empty.

might be worth keeping your eye on this

STILLWATER FLIES HOW AND WHEN TO FISH THEM 1982 1st on eBay (end time 22-Jul-10 20:50:12 BST)

Try "The Pursuit of Stillwater Trout" by Brian Clarke- a bit dated now but still a classic, or alternatively the new version of "Trout from small stillwaters" by Peter Cockwill.
Happy reading
Paul

If you're fishing from a boat then Dennis Moss' Trout from a Boat is hard to beat.

Trout Hunting by Bob Wyatt although it's a bit more rivers than stillwater.

I had been spared to see another spring, and I thank God for it.”
