Basic Fly Fishing Book

Many people are intimidated by the subtleties of fly casting and the myriad of flies when fly fishing. Fly fishing requires knowledge about casting, fly selection, knot tying, reading the water and tactics. Basic Fly Fishing provides the reader with these essential facts and more. Chapters include rod, reel and fly selection; casting instructions with step-by-step photographs; six knots you need to know; and how to find trout, set the hook and play the fish. It also instructs you on the double haul cast used for catching bass and pike.

Flyfishing for Coarse Fish

There has long been a divide between flyfishing and coarse fishing – but there is no reason for it! Over 3 million people in Britain fish one way or the other – and there is growing interest in combining these two major areas of the sport. The reasons are simple enough: virtually any fish will take a fly, you can see it ‘as it happens’ and the fight of a fish on a flyrod is nothing short of sensational. This book shows you how to flyfish for each different species: the techniques, the flies, the tackle.
