More encyclopedic than teaching
Format: Hardcover
This is a great coffee table book or something for a weekend cabin. There is enough trivia to amuse most fly fishermen, and enough history and "theory" to get a beginner out and buying supplies. The are other books, YouTube videos, and in person lessons that will be better teaching tools, but this book will get you taking the first step towards them. ... show more

Very informative
Format: Hardcover
I have not had a chance to read the book yet, but I have reviewed it. This appears to be a very informative and interesting book, even for someone with many years of fly fishing experience.

May be older but still worth having ... show more
