Synopsis:

From author's Foreword - I have taught fly fishing, casting and fly tying for the past fifteen years and have come to realize it is a sport which very few master completely. It is hoped that along with some lessons on how to fly fish, this book will give the reader the essence of why to fly fish, to reach a level of fishing that is in harmony with nature for our enjoyment now and for generations to come. (Description by http-mart, Roy Schoenbeck)
