"What to do between hatches is an increasingly important aspect of fly fishing, and Rich Osthoff is eminently qualified to address the subject in detail. This is a very well-conceived book and of great value to the contemporary fly fisher." -Dick Talleur, author of Guide to Fly Tying and Mastering the Art of Fly Tying
Much of the lore and literature of fly fishing for trout revolves around matching the hatch. But in reality, most of the time, on most trout waters, there is no significant insect hatch.

Strategies include:
- Anticipating temperature-induced feeding binges
- Long-line nymphing for active trout
- Micronymphing for inactive trout
- Prospecting with dry flies
- Beating the heat
- Dealing with dirty water
- Targeting carnivorous trout
- Pacing--the neglected factor
