About this title

Synopsis

Explores trout behavior and trout fishing basics, including how to approach a fish in a stream, how to handle a long fly rod, and when to use a variety of flies

Reviews

This aptly titled book offers as much clear and helpful instruction as any adult fishing guide published within the last few years. The author, a veteran fishing writer, targets the beginning and intermediate fly fisher. General equipment and casting are not separately covered, but technique, strategy, and tactics are expressed in understandable human terms certain to improve the sport for everyone less experienced, skillful, or observant than the author (and that includes the vast majority of anglers). This is a sound, amply illustrated addition to the literature, appropriate for all but the smallest libraries with a fly fishing clientele.
