John Goddard's Trout-Fishing Techniques (Hardcover)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Much in this guide is dealt with in any number of other titles in the desperately crowded trout-fishing field, but drawing upon 50 years of trout-fishing experience, Goddard produces a solid, well-written example of the type. So weed out a couple of other trout books, add this one, and steer anyone who asks how to start fly fishing for trout to it, if only to avoid leafing through lots of other tomes. Goddard covers many of the basics and also delves into obscure techniques--for example, the parachute roll cast, which will be used by only the most experienced and talented fly fishers. Hopefully, the final chapter, on the basics of fly tying, black-and-white in the review copy, will be in color, if only to afford better appreciation of what tying is all about, for glaringly lacking is any explanation of the mechanics of fly tying--so go back to the groaning trout-fishing shelves and glean it from one of those other books.

Review

"While this book is a must for beginning and intermediate trout fishers, even the expert stands to learn much from its pages."
