Was new to fly fishing and needed a book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
If you are new to fly fishing and looking for a book, this is it. This book covers all the basics that a person new to the sport will need. But where other intro books are too high level, this book also goes into enough detail to actually provide some insight and understanding of the sport. I have been fly fishing for three years now and have re-read this book before each season. It makes more and more sense each time I read it as I can relate my experiences each year back to what is in the book.
Great basic review of Fly Fishing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Just recently started Fly Fishing again after 20 year so thought I would update my copy. It was more than worth it. The book has been updated with changes in techniques. Highly recommended for beginners or even more experienced fishers who my be trying new things or brushing up on their basics.
Great Informative Book

For someone just getting into the sport, like myself, this book provides plenty of punch for the money. I find myself using it as an encyclopedia of sorts for all things related to fly fishing. Highly recommend!
New Edition of Great How-to Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is the new edition of one of the best books for introducing anyone to the sport of fly fishing, whether the angler wants to shop for equipment at Orvis or Wal-Mart. The information is clearly explained without going into tedious details that novices (and experienced anglers) don't want. Everything is covered here--from rod types to fly lines to casting basics. The excellent graphics are helpful--especially of the knots. Some books have knot instructions that are impossible to follow--"knot" so here! For someone who wants to start fly fishing, this book would make a great start. Orvis no doubt added the color illustrations to compete with "L.L.Bean's Handbook to Fly-Fishing" (another excellent "How to" book). So, if you're looking for "How to" info, this is the book to get; for inspiration (both about fishing and life itself), pick up Schreiber's novel, "Life on the Fly."
