Greatest book on Fly Fishing,
By tbaker (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Joe Humphreys's Trout Tactics (Hardcover)
I have met Joe and he is the greatest teacher and most helpful person you will meet in learning fly fishing. The book will give you insight and knowlege beyond your years as a fly fisherman. Whether you just started fly fishing or are a seasoned veteran, this book will teach you some thing new and practical for fly fishing. If there was only one fly fishing book I could put on my shelf, this would be it.

This review is from: Joe Humphreys's Trout Tactics (Hardcover)
I have read many books on fly fishing but none as wonderfully informative and hard to put down as this one. Along with info. it is packed w/stories about the old times. Its really neat. I definitely recommend this to a beginner to get a great start. Or anyone, it teaches a lot. The techniques also work very well. Get this book!

Read this book, and catch fish,
By
This review is from: Joe Humphreys's Trout Tactics (Hardcover)
I never caught a trout on a fly that I tied until I started reading Joe Humphreys's books. My techniques where bad. In his book "On the Stream with Joe Humphreys", he explains in great detail the technique of short line nymphing. His book was interesting and easy to read. I read it in two days, and on the third day, I went to the stream and caught my first six trout ever. I wanted to learn more from him, so I purchased "Joe Humphrey's Trout Tactics". He explains another nymphing technique in detail, along with techniques for streamers and dries, and I've caught trout using those also! Joe Humphreys is good at explaining his techniques in layman's terms, you don't have to be an expert fly fisherman to understand what he is talking about. And his techniques work. I recommend "Joe Humphrey's Trout Tactics" and "On the Stream with Joe Humphreys" to anyone who wants to catch more fish with a fly rod.
