'According to the American Sportsfishing Association, more Americans fish than play golf and tennis combined, and a huge and growing proportion of these anglers are fly fishing. It's an enormously popular activity that's come into its own, but for all this, less than 5% of all fly fishing books available are general 'how-to.' Long-time fly fishing expert E.L. Vachone decided to make up for this deficiency, and has written an introductory primer, great for beginners but also giving an interediate fly fisher more advanced skills and tips.
The Simple Art of Fly Fishing shows readers how to select equipment, reviews costs, explains terms, goes over the basics and then more involved techniques for landing that fish! Vachon tells readers how to tie flies, how to get a license, goes over the differences between freshwater and saltwater, the main fish involved and what readers need to know about them, best ways to cast and 'strike', catch and release, care and maintenance of your flyrods and other equipment, the increasing role of women in the sport, and much more.
Most fly fishing books are not manuals, and the few instructional guides are expensive, complicated, and assume a high level of expertise. Vachon gears advice to the novice and intermediate fly fisher, explains everything in a clear, step by step approach, and focuses on maximizing fun and catching fish! Illustrations by Allen Hansen, one of America's leading premier fish and wildlife illustrators, show readers the basics of casting, tieing knots, and other tricks of the trade.
