    I’m ready!

    I’m not a novice fisheman but this book is handy for anyone from the beginner to someone who just wants to learn a new way of fishing. I can’t wait to go out and give it a try now!

  • Bryan

    Fantastic book with great useful information. Some times a bit off topic and I would have likes to see some additional info on tips to set up the fly rod but overall good.

    Reference and starting point.
    Nothing beats a real life guide for learning fast though, so may as well save up.

  • ASV Birkenau

    A reasonable intro to the art of fly fishing. What was a bit strange for me for a Dummies book was that in this one some considerable knowledge of fly fishing nomenclaure was assumed, which led me to struggle occasionally to work out what wasa going on or being described. Probably for those who are less of a dummy than me this book will provide a useful reference.

  • Jesse

    The fly had even greater success than I did.

  • Robert

    I'll let you know if it is a good book after my fly fishign tuip in March.. Can't wait.. Does anyone else fish?
