Funny stuff

Ohman has obviously spent time fly fishing and observing other fly fishermen. Fly fishing is a complex and potentially frustrating endeavor. Those without a good sense of humor should avoid fly fishing or plan to spend time and money on anger management. All of Jack's books are worth your time.

Caution: highly irresistible!!

The author depicts the obcession of fly-fishing and people who are involved in. Each page twitches my nerve and causes gut-twisting laughters. This is not an anecdote-style about fly-fishing. I think I can say it's more like a "what-if?" style along with author's profession as a political cartoonist, which produces too many sarcasm and satires about fly-fishing. What if the fly-fishing competition is on ESPN like a bass tournament?? Fly-shop we should avoid is "CASTOCO" (meaning COSTOCO in real world) and "7X-11" (meaning 7-11). Machismo way of fly-fishing or magazines?? School, therapy, guides, clubs, etc for fly-fishing?? Page goes on and on and each page makes me smirk when nobody is around!! Maybe this is how I am obcessed about fly-fishing, then....I try not be the bad examples that author picks on.... Sorry this may not sound a serious book review but there are too much to say and this is all I can express. Instead the author will tell you what it's all about this book.....just come and get it!!
