Amazon.com Review

This amusing introduction to fly-fishing is particularly useful to the complete beginner. In a large cartoon format, the Illustrated Guide starts with a bit of lore and then leaps right into late-20th-century gear, covering the basics of rods, reels, lines, waders, and the myriad other accoutrements of the sport. The authors also cover technique, from tying knots to casting and fly selection. The final pages are devoted to stream tactics, with big block letters exclaiming cardinal rules such as "Be Quiet!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Guide is superbly written & illustrated for novice and pro, March 22, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Everyones Illustrated Guide to Trout on a Fly (Paperback)
This guide gives you all the basics: rod, reel, line, flies and more. It's a fun book, especially with the easy to read text and great art. The text is in large, hand printing, which makes it easy and fast to read. Further, the book is packed with essential info., such as reading water, catch and release and conservation. Also included are very good coverage of knot tying, casting a fly and needed tackle. You even get a page on hook removal, should you snag yourself. The clincher of this guide is the light, breezy way author and artist worked together to produce a delightful guide for fishers and general reader alike. Highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the cartoons fool you!, January 26, 2009

This review is from: Everyones Illustrated Guide to Trout on a Fly (Paperback)
This is a serious beginner's fly fishing handbook. There is so much information packed in here and the illustrations are even better than photos or video.

My only suggestion for improvement might be a "Quick Start" guide in 1-2 pages at the start of the book. Then again, if you don't have enough time to read this book before heading out, you probably don't have time to fish.
