From the Back Cover
Essential Fly Fishing presents the fundamentals of this great sport quickly and effectively. Proven teaching techniques and bright, helpful illustrations enable you to: find fish in streams, lakes, and salt water; select and assemble proper, balanced tackle; cast a fly line with authority—with rhythm, not strength; recognize and learn to simulate natural fish foods; learn fishing techniques that really work; tie effective knots that have maximum strength; and begin the endlessly interesting process of tying your own flies. This easy-to-follow book concisely explains fishing ethics, offers helpful safety precautions, and defines basic angling terms. The chapter on fly-rod fish describes the unique sport that many species—from trout to whitefish—offer fly fishers. Essential Fly Fishing is a superbly illustrated primer of the highest rank.
From Library Journal
Prospective fly-fishers who are otherwise worried that the sport is too difficult or arcane would be well advised to read Meade's book for a lucid and concise introduction to the popular pastime. Meade effectively presents enough information to get beginners started. He covers such fundamentals as choosing tackle, casting a fly line, and deceiving a variety of fish with fur and feathers made to look like something edible. There are even simple fly-tying instructions. Angling etiquette and safety are also covered, and a thoughtful glossary is provided. A number of other books cover the same introductory topics, but none better in so compact a volume. Recommended.
