Reasonable Art of Fly Fishing by Terry Mort

Reasonable Art of Fly Fishing Reviews

  I've been bait fishing before. And tied flies. And have worked in fisheries. And got a Phd in in aquatic ecology. So I've spent more than your average amount of time thinking about fish and mayflies. But I've never fly fished and wanted to know more about it.
  
  There is more to it.
  
  I'm not sure I'm any more capable of fly fishing now than I was a few days ago. The major barrier being I'm too cheap to buy all that stuff. But I appreciate the art, the technique, the atmosphere far better than I did. I remember watching A River Runs Through It in utter confusion about what was going on. I think I have a better idea now. This was very well-written. Loaded with classical references, pop culture references, and a surprisingly deep body of fly fishing literature. Who knew?
  
  I understand better why Trout Unlimited is such a big deal in the DNR world now.

  Informative, and a bit of humor.
