5.0 out of 5 stars The best book to begin with, June 7, 2000

By 

Robert A. Terrell - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fly Fishing Made Easy (Paperback)

If I had it all to do over again I would begin fly-fishing by reading this book. It's title tells the truth. The book is obviously written for the beginning fly-fisher but that does not mean it is light-weight in its information. Rutter & Card give very solid information and explain it throughly enough for it to become easy to understand. The book is full of black and white pictures and diagrams to help the reader visualize what the writers are talking about. They will explain what you need to do and then show you pictures of how to do it. The Table of Contents is also a big help because it breaks down where you can find each sub-grouping within each chapter (the Table of Contents is almost as big as the Index). All together this makes "Fly Fishing Made Easy" a book that I am still glad I have in my library, even though I am no longer a beginner.
