About this title

Synopsis

All the essential information for the beginner and intermediate fly fisher

From the Back Cover

Here is a complete, down-to-earth, and highly practical introduction to the exciting sport of fly fishing. All the important elements and types of fly fishing are presented: tackle selection, casting, presentation, flies and their special uses; successful techniques on stream, pond, or ocean; tackle, flies, and special methods of fishing for every major gamefish in fresh and saltwater, from bluegill to tarpon. Whether you want a complete basic 'course' in fly fishing or simply to refresh yourself on special aspects of the sport, The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide will prove invaluable. As Silvio Calabi, Editor of Rod & Reel, has said: 'This Guide may be the single most valuable item a novice angler can buy . . . and most of us would do well to reread the section on flies, fly selection and stream tactics every spring before pulling on our waders for the first time.' (8 1/2 x 11, 272 pages, b&w photos, illustrations, diagrams, charts)
