This is a revised edition of the author's Fly-Rodding for Bass (1976). Since the publication of the first edition, bass fishing tackle hasn't changed much, but bass habitat has increased greatly while wild trout habitat has declined. Livingston encourages fly fishers to try bass for opportunity and pleasure. He suggests that spincasters will find it cheaper and easier but claims that the best reason for using a fly rod "is that it will at times catch more fish." Livingston knows his topic and writes clearly about tackle and gear, lures and presentation, bass habitat and behavior, and the varied methods of casting. The result should appeal to both fly fishing purists and down-home bassers. The earlier edition remains useful, and the topic fits the scope of public library collections throughout the country. For large sports collections.
