An Advanced Course in Fly Fishing The mission of The Little Red
Book of Fly Fishing was to demystify and un-complicate the tricks
and tips that make a great trout fisher. There are no complicated
physics lessons in that book. Rather, The Little Red Book of Fly
Fishing offered a simple, digestible primer on the basic elements
of fly fishing: the cast, presentation, reading water, and
selecting flies. In this, The Little Black Book of Fly Fishing,
authors Kirk Deeter and Chris Hunt take you to the next level,
building upon what Deeter and Charlie Meyers did in The Little Red
Book. The Little Black Book will helps fly fishers build upon what
they learned in the Little Red Book. Read this valuable,
thought-provoking guidebook, and you'll be at the point where
you'll be catching fish when no one else is, and you'll know
exactly why you are. Advanced casting, presentation, reading the
water, fly selection, and much more, including proper gear
selection, are all covered. The table of contents, below, explains
it all. The Little Black Book of Fly Fishing Acknowledgments

"player" and get after it Gin clear water Flat calm water
Developing "TSP" (trout sensory perception) A fish doesn't see like
humans do Walk on The 10 second rule Like a dog on a leash Tip up
or tip down? The keys to spotting fish The full-court press usually
fails Use the whole spice cabinet River personalities and
handshakes What the cloud layers tell you Knowing what they are not
doing is equally important as knowing what they are Upwelling v.
