It's a very comprehensive book, covering from the esentials to the advanced techniques, experienced anglers will not find new tricks, but rather good photography and a way to introduce freinds and relatives to the sport.
New anglers and intermediate fly fisherman will find this book very helpfull in the path of the always learning fly fishing hobby.

Like many flyfishermen I have a long shelf of books on this sport. Most of those books are enjoyable and/or informative, but if I were forced to choose one book to give to a beginner who wants to pursue trout in streams this is the one I would pick. Nearly every aspect of the sport is covered, from choosing equipment, to tieing knots, to casting and reading the water. Every major surface and subsurface technique is covered in good detail. Anyone who takes the time to learn all of the skills covered in this book will be a very competent trout fisherman. I'd like to agree with other reviewers by saying that the photos in this book are absolutely stunning and the illustrations are very clear. The text is neither flowery nor stilted. Any literate person, of just about any age, should get a lot out of this book.

This is a cool book to have laying around. You will pick it up many times to review the information on trout habitat or to read about fly fishing methods. The underwater photography is wonderful. This hard back book make a great coffee table book or a great conversation starter. The fly fishing information is first rate. I found the high sticking nymph methods very interesting since we are in the middle of the snow 'run off' and fishing the rapids. This would be a great book for the novice or the experienced fly fisherman to own.

This book is a piece every fly fisherman should have.It's a good book for begginers and old fisherman's. It's a real complete review of all what is envolved in this sport.
