A book co-authored by a bug?

Picking up a book that quotes a bug is probably the last thing you thought you'd ever do. I understand the skepticism. But listen. Bugs know more about trout than any of us. And catching trout with a fly is what you want to get into.

Stoney, the homeless stonefly, will get you into fly fishing quickly, easily, intuitively, and without plundering your life savings, credit score, or family serenity.

Fly fishing introduction books written by humans are doomed by anthropomorphism. They describe the underwater world as it appears to humans, not as it appears to fish or more importantly aquatic insects, like Stoney, the homeless stonefly. His family has been dealing with trout for 56 million years, your family for less than 56,000. Do the math, buy the book.
