5.0 out of 5 stars A seriously fun, illustrated reference for bigtrout-o-holics, June 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Fish Bum's Guide to Catching Larger Trout: An Illustrated Manual on Stillwater Tactics (Paperback)

Imagine that classic, fully-illustrated, introduction-to-flyfishing of the Disco Era, The Curtis Creek Manifesto, all grown up and gone to grad school. Way more sophisticated in its approach to the subject matter and its style of art, Mike Croft has created a seriously fun, illustrated reference for unrepentant, stillwater bigtrout-o-holics. It sports more usable, hardwon information for the frogwater flyfisher than can be found in an armload of current how-tos. This book rocks!

5.0 out of 5 stars An informative "must read" for the beginner & intermediate, December 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Fish Bum's Guide to Catching Larger Trout: An Illustrated Manual on Stillwater Tactics (Paperback)

I found this book to be a very informative "must read" for the beginner as well as intermediate fly fishers. It's fun to read and the amount of tips will definitely enhance one's enjoyment on the water as well as increase your catch rate.

Mike Croft has done an exceptional job of concisely explaining Stillwater fishing in a way that even a dummy like me can understand. His use of humor and his own drawings is a welcome change from the usual droll tomes on fly-fishing that are generally published today. Some may call it a comic book and I suppose that in some ways it is. But, it is the most informative comic book you'll ever read. Buy the book and I'm sure you'll see what I mean.
