Here is an excellent introduction to fly-fishing by an expert angler and patient teacher. Rosenbauer leads the reader from an explanation of essential gear to the correct way of casting, striking, and landing for different types of trout and waters. He also discusses fly selection and care of equipment. Each chapter is accompanied by illustrative drawings and photographs.
