Essential Fly Fishing - an all-colour handbook - presents the
fundamentals of this great sport quickly and effectively. Proven
teaching techniques and bright, helpful colour illustrations will
enable new fly fishers to: find fish in streams, lakes, and salt
water; select and assemble proper, balanced tackle; cast a fly line
with authority - with rhythm, not strength; recognise and learn to
simulate natural fish foods; learn techniques that really work; tie
effective knots that have maximum strength; and begin the endlessly
interesting process of tying your own flies. This book concisely
explains fishing ethics, offers helpful safety precautions, and
defines basic angling terms. The chapter on fly-rod fish describes
the unique sport that many species - from trout to whitefish -
offer fly fishers. Essential Fly Fishing is a crisp, helpful,
superbly illustrated primer of the highest rank.
