A classic, in-depth exploration, by renowned fly fishing expert Gary Borger, of what truly makes fish take a fly. Rather than focusing only on flies or gear, the author breaks down the critical elements of presentation – drag, depth, speed, angle and timing – that determine success on the water. Clear, analytical and grounded in decades of experience, this book helps anglers understand fish behaviour and refine their technique to achieve more natural, effective presentations. Essential reading for serious fly fishers who want to move beyond guesswork and consistently improve their catch rates. Very good condition. Hardcover, 29cm x 22cm, 319 pages.
