Editorial Reviews

After reading Feeding Time, I was astounded. Chapter after chapter, Jason takes the reader from start to finish about habitat cycles and the habits of many species. This book is a must for the dyed-in-the-wool fisherman and will set you on the right path to fly-fish for trophy-sized trout.

Bob Clouser

If you want to learn about currents. .. this book is a dream come true.

Ralph Cutter

I believe this is the most informative book about trout streams and their currents and how to successfully fish them. It belongs in every serious trout fisherman's library.

Lefty Kreh

"There’s more to figuring out a trout stream than looking at a hatch chart, and Randall delves into the intricacies of the trout’s ecosystem to explain in detail what anglers should be looking for."
