Through his accounts on the water, author A. K. Best shares his lifetime of fly-fishing experience. "I have always thought that going fly fishing simply meant that you drove to the stream, strung up your rod, tied on a fly, looked for a rising trout, and then cast to it until you caught it. It does work out that way sometimes and it's a lot of fun. But other times, it gets a little more complicated and that's even more fun." It's these complications that A. K. deals with, untangles, and explains in his first book devoted to fishing.

A must read for any fly fisher and perfect gift,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fly-Fishing with A. K. (Hardcover)
If you buy only one fly fishing book it probably shouldn't be this book (try the Orvis or LL Bean guides)- but if you buy two this should be one of them! I don't care what your skill level you will learn from this book and find yourself reading it again every year or two. Best has a clear, logical easy to read writing style. He actually explains why he makes his recommendations and advice.
After rereading his advice on playing/fighting fish I was able to land a large brown (on very light line- 7x), even though I've been fishing for years I don't think I would have landed that fish if I hadn't remembered his suggestions. Also If you are looking for a gift for a fly fisher and they don't have this book then buy it for them, they will much appreciate it.
