If fly fishing is your love, this book will make it better!,
By Mel Eaton, meaton54@aol.com (Snohomish, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: L. L. Bean Fly Fishing for Bass Handbook (Paperback)
The line paid out smoothly through the guides, pulling the leader and fly forward to settle gently on the pond. Moments later the three pounds of large mouth bass had his breakfast and the fisherman a good morning tug of war. Scenes like this one come to mind as would be fly fisherman read L.L. Bean's "Fly Fishing for Bass Handbook" by Dave Whitlock. This easy reading guide to fly fishing covers equipment, casting, bass habits, flies, and bass fishing philosophy. As a seasoned trout fisherman I found this book enjoyable as well as informative. The book presents some very specific information when it comes to fly fishing for those large bass. If fly fishing for bass is on your list, then this book should be on your shelf.

This review is from: L.L. Bean Fly Fishing For Bass Handbook (Paperback)
This is a helpful book, but it suffers from the following problem: it is aimed at experienced fly fishers for trout who are bass neophytes on one hand, and experienced bass fishers who are new to casting flies on the other. Each of these groups will find some parts of the book relatively unhelpful. Otherwise it's a worthwhile read.

This review is from: L. L. Bean Fly Fishing for Bass Handbook (Paperback)
This is a very informative book.. BUT.. unless you have read any other books on fly fishing such as trout techniques.. then this book has no new information for you.. basically they just took anything they said for trout fishing and replaced "trout" with "bass".. but for a whole whoppin' 0.01 i really couldn't go wrong in investing in this book...
Pros: Great and informative book IF this is your first book on fly fishing.. Good book for a first timer.. LL Bean breaks it down well for the uninformed Cons: Recycled knowledge from any trout techniques book you may own or have read.. Nothing new for those who have been fly fishing for some time
