THE BOOK to read if you want to learn to fly fish!

Twenty years ago I bought "Fly Fishing For Trout", the previous incarnation of this book (from a different publisher) and it made me a fly fisherman. I've already been through three copies of the present (expanded, revised, updated) edition, as the people I lend it to never return it. While the book does have it's shortcomings, such as an outdated equipment section, and a slant toward Eastern (Catskill) style fishing, it is still an incredibly complete and concise overview of what you need to know to become a proficienttrout angler. I do not find Mr. Talleur's style overly arrogant. I believe that this is a tightly targeted work, aimed, as it says in the title, for beginners. Just before the beginning of every season I read it again, and I am always a better fisherman for it. For an experienced angler, there would be better books, but if you are the person in the title, a beginner, this should be the first book you read.
