Instead of spending years learning the art and science of flyfishing by trial and error, lean back and let these experts tell you what they know. Start by going over your equipment, including rods, reels, leaders, tippets, waders, boots, clothing, and protective gear, to see whether you need to buy new stuff or just make better use of what you have. Next comes fly selection, and a valuable primer on "reading the water," with surveys of the sciences of limnology (the study of rivers, lakes, and streams), aquatic entomology (the study of waterborne insects), and trout biology. Then go outdoors for step-by-step lessons on casting and presentation. The best place for this book is your equipment bag! Sterling 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/4 x 11.
