About this title

Synopsis

How to Improve Your Fly Fishing & Catching is a book of tips - brief bits of information to help you think; to remind you of what it takes to catch a trout and other related information. (Beginners are advised to read my first book - How to Fly Fish for Trout, the First Book to Read and spend some time on the water before reading this book.)

(Due to feedback from readers it is important to know the definition of a "Tip" before purchasing. This is NOT a comprehensive instruction book - it is a book of reminders and bits of information. There are many resources you can go to for more in-depth information. In my world I have found that a tip is usually all that is needed to set a fellow angler on the right path.)

Fly fishing is an ever evolving sport. We reach various plateaus in our knowledge and skills which require some agent to move us forward. This book is one of those agents. It contains some very simple and commonsense tips on how to improve your fly fishing and catching. Nothing earth shattering or new to the universe, I can assure you, but embracing these concepts will surely make your time on the water more productive and more fun.

Who am I to tell you how to improve your fly fishing? I ask myself this question each time I find share one of these tips with a buddy. I am not an expert or a professional fly fisher. Just a guy who enjoys the sport and has for some time. I hope you find this book helpful and please take a look at my website, Tomsfishingstories.com. Tight lines!

Summary: 30 tips that are fun to read while offering some of the information that fly fishers need to know but may not know to ask. This is my way of helping other fisherpersons re-discover the joy of fly fishing and catching.

A 2nd edition is available which is printed in color and has some updates to this 1st edition. I continue to offer this 1st edition as it is less expensive for those who don't mind Black and White.
