Synopsis

An invaluable manual for beginners and experts alike.

A licensed fly-fishing guide’s observations on the common mistakes made by anglers, A Guide’s Guide to Fly-Fishing Mistakes provides practical tips on how to improve fly-fishing techniques and break bad habits. Licensed fishing guide and instructor Sara Low offers remedies for freshwater anglers on topics that include correctly approaching fish, improving fly selection, proper presentation, consistent and accurate casting, and efficient hooking and landing of fish, as well as pointers for fishing in spring, summer, fall, and winter.

Although written for anglers with experience, the notes will be just as helpful for anglers who have not had time to develop bad habits.
