About this title

Review:

The name L. L. Bean is acknowledged as being the tops in outdoor gear. This handbook justifiably bears that brand. A handsomely illustrated Text enhanced with photographs, Dave Whitlock's book covers the Zen of fly fishing, the craft or how-to, the strategies for various fish, how to "read" both fish and stream, and describes the art of tying various flies, and the latest in fly- fishing attire. Whitlock addresses both fresh- and saltwater considerations, the ethics of fishing, and has compiled an excellent list of publications and organizations of interest to the fisher.

From the Back Cover:

It covers everything that the beginner wants to know and offers lots of information that experienced fly fishers can use to hone their skills and catch more fish, including: the essential fly casts; numerous useful knots; profiles of fresh- and saltwater fish species; hot to recognize aquatic insects and create imitations; and fishing from boats and float tubes.Gear and fly patterns might change, just as fishing conditions change, but the skills that this book teaches can help the new angler develop a solid foundation and provide guidance along the way in a lifetime of fishing pleasure.
