Licensed fishing guide and instructor Sara Low offers remedies to freshwater anglers on topics that include correctly approaching fish, improving fly selection, proper presentation, consistent and accurate casting, efficient hooking and landing of fish, as well as pointers for fishing spring, summer, fall, and winter.

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