Fly Fishing

By Sally Crockett

Book Overview

Graceful, serene, and elegant, the art of fly fishing also provides thrilling, pulse-pounding contests between angler and fish. It's an art whose basics can be picked up in a morning, but whose finer points can be developed and refined over a lifetime. This book teaches the basics of rod, reel, and line selection, casting, fly selection and tying, and reeling in the big ones. It also offers secret tips on promising locations to find fish, how to "read" water, and what flies work best on what fish in what types of water and weather conditions. Safety on land and on water are also stressed and discussed thoroughly, as is environmental respect and conservation. A delightful introduction to the sport and art of fly fishing, this book will inspire in readers a lifetime of outdoor activity, passion, and stewardship.
