Excellent, especially for those who have been fly fishing and have struggled with some of the techniques |
|
I have fished the Bighorn a number of times with a great guide and found this excellent for not only learning new techniques but also for preparation for future trips. |

this book sucks! |
|
the diagrams are terrible. i challange ANYBODY who has never tied a fishing knot before to decipher a single one of the diagrams in this book. the pictures in the section on casting are even worse. UGH! i can't believe i listened to all of these five-star reviews. if you are a visual learner like i am, than please, listen to me when i tell you to AVOID THIS BOOK! |

I am an idiot and it helped me! |
This is an awesome book that covers everything one might need to know about flyfishing. I am totally green in this subject and I feel like after reading the book, I have an understanding about the basic principles of the sport. It covers everything from equipment to tying flies, from the basics of casting to detailed information about trout and bass.
One small gripe, however, is that there are a lack of pictures in this book. I am a visual learner and it would greatly help if the book had illustrations of how to fly fish a stream, where the fish hide, and so forth. I found that the Orvis guide was extremely helpful in the illustrations. |

Excellent Book!! |
|
This is an excellent book. I've read a couple others on the market and this is by far the easiest book to understand. This book cuts through all the garbage and tells you exactly what you need to know from what to buy, how to practice, how to choose a fly, and what to do once you've caught that trophy fish. If you are going to only buy one fly-fishing guide this is by far the best choice. |

Great Book - Bad Title |
|
If you can get by the title, this is a really good book. Follow the instructions and you will catch fish. I refer back to the book all the time. |
