Fly casting by book is a challenging undertaking for both author and reader, and so I'm typically skeptical about them. However, Mr. Lord and his photographer have done an outstanding job in communicating the essentials of the cast.
I am a reasonably experienced fly fisher. But I began to suspect I was developing some bad habits.

I took this book and went back to the fundamentals as explained by Mr. Lord and had immediate wonderful results.

Lord's explanations are the clearest I've come across, and his writing style is engaging and very clear.

I highly recommended this book to new and experienced casters. It will make a difference.

Now in a fully revised and completely updated edition, Macauley Lord's "L.L. Bean Fly-Casting Handbook: An Effective Guide To Casting Farther And More Accurately" continues to be essential reading for aspiring fly-fishermen wanting to improve their performance with the rod and reel. The commentary and step-by-step instructions are fully illustrated throughout with full color photography making "L.L. Bean Fly-Casting Handbook" the perfect instruction manual for the novice. Based on the methods of the L.L. Bean Fly-fishing Schools (where Macauley Lord has taught since 1986), this compendium of instruction, advice and information covers all aspects of effective casting including the Four-Part Cast on a lawn; lengthening the cast; wind casting, the Double Haul; and so much more. If you are contemplating improving your skill and performance at fly-fishing, then the "L.L. Bean Fly-Casting Handbook" is where you should begin your studies.

While I have not completed reading this book, it has already helped me understand some of the intricacies of fly casting. I look forward to completing it and putting it into practice.
