Learn fast and well

Great book for beginners and intermediates who want to learn all the details on equipment, knots and technique. It's a fast read too!

Fast and effective fly fishing immersion

An excellent book that does exactly what it says, and more. It got me up to speed quickly and then built skills effectively, after the foundation is laid. The fly tying instructions at the end of the book was an added bonus. If you are going to only buy one book on this subject, I highly recommend "Fly Fishing in 24 Hours"!
