Limestone streams present some of the most intriguing and challenging fly-fishing waters in mid-America.
Meck explains what limestone streams are, how they significantly differ from freestone streams, and why they are such an important part of the environment and the fishing experience. Meck examines the common insects found in limestone streams and special tactics for fishing limestone streams, with advice on using a long fine leader with a fluorocarbon tippet, sinking the dun or spinner pattern, using a tandem rig or strike indicator, which patterns to carry to match any limestone hatch, the use of smaller patterns, fishing in poor weather, and catching the early hatch cycle. For any angler contemplating a journey to a limestone stream, this is a must.
