Fly Casting - Illustrated in Color

For many fly fishers, casting remains the single most important skill - and one that can take a lifetime to master. This superbly illustrated guide breaks down the mysteries of fly casting into clear, easy-to-follow steps, making it an ideal learning tool for beginners while also providing a valuable refresher for experienced anglers. Rather than burying readers in theory, the authors take a highly visual, practical approach, using outstanding full-colour photography to demonstrate exactly how successful casts are performed. From the fundamentals of grip, stance, tackle setup and line control, the book progresses through a remarkable range of casts and presentations, including roll casts, double-hauling, wind casting, reach casts, hook casts, wiggle casts, bow-and-arrow casts and many more. Equally valuable are the sections on fishing applications: shooting line, mending, presenting dry flies naturally, fishing nymphs effectively, swinging wets and streamers, and even working Bass Bugs. The emphasis throughout is not merely on casting for its own sake, but on using casting skills to catch more fish under real fishing conditions. Practical and beautifully photographed, this is the sort of book that rewards repeated visits and belongs within easy reach. A handy casting reference from two respected names in fly fishing. Very good condition. Softcover, 28cm x 22cm, 48 pages.
