Instead of spending years learning the art and science of flyfishing by trial and error, lean back and let these experts tell you what they know. Start by going over your equipment, including rods, reels, leaders, tippets, waders, boots, clothing, and protective gear, to see whether you need to buy new stuff or just make better use of what you have. Next comes fly selection, and a valuable primer on "reading the water," with surveys of the sciences of limnology (the study of rivers, lakes, and streams), aquatic entomology (the study of waterborne insects), and trout biology. Then go outdoors for step-by-step lessons on casting and presentation. The best place for this book is your equipment bag! Sterling 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/4 x 11.

A classic is back…updated! For 30 years, this seminal work has been the best-selling introduction to the sport.

It’s packed with insider tips for every style and tying method, along with dozens of ties shown in full-color drawings—which are actually better than photos for clarifying the details. Chapter by chapter, the guide covers tools; materials; insects and their life cycles; streamers, terrestrials, and attractors; fly-tying classes and kits; and much more.
