My brother, an expert fly fisherman by any criteria (fishes every trophy stream in the U.S. -- his bad day is < 25 fish 16" - 20" or none over 20+ inches w/ pictures to prove it), has talked me into fly fishing after 40 years. My professional pilot discipline drives me to a manual to get all basics and techniques deeply ingrained before taking stick or fly rod in hand. I looked at every book on <a href="http://www.berkley-fishing.net/review/fly-fishing-for-beginners-the-freshwater-angler" rel="nofollow">DigitalTags.net</a> before buying this one and a couple others. I immediately fell in love with this book and have been through it several times. I was impressed with Chris Hansen's mastery of the subject and his ability to communicate its full range from thinking about fly fishing to cleaning your gear after an outing. I asked my brother (other fisherman literally stop fishing to watch him catch fish) to critique it to see if I'd been fooled. He thought the content was as well written and comprehensive as I did. He said it was all anyone needed to become a happy, successful fly fisherman (assuming they fish where the fish are!) to the intermediate level. We both considered the illustrations and pictures superb. It's perfect for me . . . I suspect for you too. Thanks to this book, I'm doing well on my local park lake and looking forward to my first real fishing in Montana next year. I'm ready with the right gear and basics learned. I'm confident and highly motivated . . . now show me the fish. I extend my special thanks to Billy at <a href="http://www.berkley-fishing.net/review/fly-fishing-for-beginners-the-freshwater-angler" rel="nofollow">DigitalTags.net</a>.
