description: Vachon, an expert fly fisher who's been reeling 'em in for more than 20 years, presents an easy-to-read, step-by-step approach, giving the beginner all the basics and those with some experience more advanced skills. She moves from advice on selecting equipment and gear, appraises all the costs, tells readers how to pick a guide, describes the difference between saltwater and freshwater fly fishing, and demonstrates how to land a fish in all types of waters and weather. More than a training manual, readers will learn the best places to go for a specific kind of fish, see illustrations on how to tie knots and all-purpose flies, learn which catalogues and websites are the most useful, what catch-and-release is all about, the increasing role of women in the sport, and much more.
