Sprinkled in between the fly dressings and tying lessons—and alongside his own personal anecdotes—longtime fishing guide Doug Stewart shares insights and instructions that will add to your fishing success in this illustrated guide.
The Practical Fly Fisher will help you become a more complete angler, a better fly tier, and a more successful fly fisher. On top of covering all aspects of fly fishing: casting, proper equipment, tying flies, reading water, the feeding habits of fish, and the proper strategy for fishing a stretch of river, included inside in the book are the secrets of Doug’s favorite patterns.
Doug Stewart, a lifelong fly fisher, is also a fly-tying instructor, guide and a fly shop owner. He has written about fly-fishing for The Oregon Sportsman and Amato Publications. Doug spent many years teaching customers how to fly fish during the thirty-two years he owned Stewart’s Fly Shop. “I think I get more out of teaching someone, out of seeing them be successful or catch their first fish, than I do out of catching my own,” Doug says.

"Incredibly useful, interesting, and reverent . . . so well written and organized that you almost forget you are being educated in the course of being entertained and intrigued." --John Shewey, Editor-in-Chief, Northwest Fly Fishing magazine
"I have had the privilege of knowing Doug since the early '70s and am proud to be his friend. His passion for the sport of fly fishing is easily noticeable in his writing and day-to-day conversations. Doug goes way deeper than just catching fish. He is always happy to share what he has learned with others, which I feel puts him at the head of the class! His vast knowledge and research are proven in his new book." --Jim Teeny, www.jimteeny.com "A few years ago, I ran into Doug Stewart at his booth in the Portland Sportsman's Show and we reminisced about our youthful years. Doug was tying his well-known steelhead fly called the Max Canyon and wearing his unique trademark English tweed fishing hat as we talked about fishing and fly tying. Our paths have crossed many times since, tying flies together at fishing shows and an occasional day of fishing.Doug Stewart, a lifelong fly fisher, is also a fly-tying instructor and guide and former fly shop owner, and has written about fly fishing for "The Oregon Sportsman "and Amato Publications.
