5.0 out of 5 stars In my novice experience, this is the best beginner's guide..., June 26, 2007
In my novice experience, this is the best beginner's guide to fly fishing. I had ordered the Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide together with this book and in comparison I have to say that L.L. Bean Ultimate Book of Fly Fishing is the better one. This book provides a much better introduction to fly fishing to novices like me, beginning from the basics. Although advanced fly fishers would probably be bored by the chapters that introduce the uninitiated to this sport/pastime, teaching them the bones, so to speak, I am sure this book has a lot of wisdom to impart to all enthusiasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best "how-to" books on fly fishing, December 30, 2007
This is a composite of three previously published L. L Bean guides: fly-fishing, casting, and fly tying. The first part is Whitlock's book on fly-fishing and is one of the best (the other being Rosenbauer's Orvis book) introductions to the sport of fly fishing. The Whitlock illustrations are always great, and the information is top-notch. You will find out everything you need from fly lines to fly rods to knots to basic flies.

Add the other two parts and this is an excellent overall view of all three areas. Because of the comprehensive approach, it is one of the best "how to" books on fly-fishing available.

Don't be fooled by the "L.L.Bean" title--the book does not promote their products. It is a top-rated introduction to fly fishing, casting, and tying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Are you a flyfisher this book is for you., May 21, 2008
This was a reccommended book for any flyfisherman. I bought the Orvis and i just had to have the L.L. Bean book too. Both are great products. L.L. Bean has outdone themselves what a great book for any fisherman. This is a father's Day gift and i can't wait to give it to my dad. He will love it.
Thanks,
Chase
