Welcome to the special world of fly fishing, and it's not nearly so mysterious as you may have imagined. It is not impossible to use a fly rod skillfully or to tie a fly that will catch trout; you will find that fly fishing is a sport that can provide limitless pleasure. After only a little bit of practice, you will find it is the most enjoyable way to catch all game fish - from bluegill to bass to trout to the largest salt water species. This book is a simple, down-to-earth, and highly practical introduction to fly fishing by one of America's foremost fishermen and fly fishing instructors. Based on the methods tested in the famous LL Bean Fly Fishing Schools, it covers the basic skills of fly casting, choice of tackle and fly-tying. It offers tips on safety, an extremely helpful introduction to the food fish eat and how to imitate them successfully, a group of recommended fly assortments, and a useful glossary of important fly fishing terms. Throughout the book, Dave Whitlock's fine line illustrations help make his advice absolutely clear. Softcover, 112 pages, 25cm x 18cm.
