5.0 out of 5 stars The What, When, Where, How, and Why of Flyfishing, October 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Presentation (Hardcover)

"Presentation" by Gary Borger with illustrations by his son, Gary is without a doubt one of, if not the best instructional book on flyfishing currently available. Sections on the fish as prey, the fish as predator, what the trout sees, locating trout, tactics, hatches, equipment, casting- it's all there in an easy to read and enjoyable format. Gary provides "Presentation Strategems" throughout the book that taken alone are worth the price. The photos, anecdotes, and a lot of straight "how to's" make this book a winner- every time I loan my copy out, it's months before I get it back!

5.0 out of 5 stars Presentation will help..., January 8, 2001

This review is from: Presentation (Hardcover)

A straightforward book, readable, yet in depth, with enough side bar humor and anecdotal material to be entertaining, yet content that will keep you busy for years. I was pointed in the direction of this book by someone with much experience, and would reccomend it for any level. It covers all aspects of presentation, from the selection of the rod to the landing of the fish. Presentation here refers to the entire p[rocess, not just the landing of the fly. Very important book.

This review is from: Presentation (Hardcover)

Gary Borger's Presentation is a comprehensive, knowledgeable, lucid text for fly fishing. Presentation describes the technique of displaying the fly to the fish in its natural environment so that it looks like its normal food. This book covers casting, fly selection, river strategies, equipment, entomology, and much more. The illustrations are also very good. I learned a lot from reading this book, so I read it again. Highly recommended.
