No other form of fishing offers the challenge, frustration, provocation, stimulation, fascination, tranquility and rewards of fly fishing. In paperback for the first time, here is the ultimate book on every aspect of this fishing art form. Early chapters include the basics, such as history, equipment, and technique. McNally explains the differences between dry flies, nymphs, and wet flies, and how to approach these very different forms of fly-fishing. Insect hatches, stream tactics, and more advanced strategies are also detailed with illustrations and color photographs.
Final chapters cover less traditional quarry like bass, pike, and saltwater species.
To say any single book about a subject so diverse as fly fishing is 'complete' is tall talk, but this one delivers.
