The Orvis Guide to Finding Trout

In full color, The Orvis Guide to Finding Trout is a brand-new book from Tom Rosenbauer and the Orvis Company. Most beginners (and many experts) are mystified when faced with a new river or changing conditions on their home river. And if they can’t predict where trout might be, they lose confidence and fish poorly. This book is about how to find trout in all types of water, at all seasons. But it’s also about what methods and flies may work best in each water type. There is also a concluding chapter on Ten Trout Myths, which are mostly related to where trout are found and how to approach them.

Tom Rosenbauer has been a fly fisher for five decades and was tying flies commercially at age fourteen. Tom is the host of many popular YouTube videos on how to catch trout, and his podcast has been downloaded over 20 million times. He is the author of numerous books as well as countless articles for Fly Fisherman, Audubon,, Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, and other periodicals. He has worked for the Orvis Company in various capacities since 1976. He lives in Pawlet, Vermont.
