Synopsis

Fly fishing has seen tremendous growth in recent years. And many anglers are looking for more detailed and technical information to help them increase their catch for freshwater as well as saltwater species. This outdoor reference book in the "Freshwater Angler" series reveals detailed step-by-step information beyond the beginner's level. It is a comprehensive, overall view of the sport and discusses all the crucial components at an in-depth level. The book takes the reader beyond the basics such as how to sharpen a hook, the construction of fly lines, beginning fly casting methods and where to locate and fish for various species. Instead, it shows why some knots are better than others, why you don't need every fly rod made, how a floating saltwater line might be right for your freshwater fishing, the pros and cons of direct drive versus anti-reverse reels, the advantages of reeling with your dominant hand and much more. These are just a few of the techniques and skills explained in the book, making it an essential purchase for all fly fishing enthusiasts.
