Essential Fly Fishing - Tapa blanda

"Essential Fly Fishing" - an all-colour handbook - presents the fundamentals of this great sport quickly and effectively. Proven teching techniques and bright, helpful colour illustrations will enable fly fishers to: find fish in streams, lakes and salt water; select and assemble proper, balanced tackle; cast a fly line with authority - with rhythm, not strength; recognize and learn to stimulate natural fish foods; learn techniques that really work; tie effective knots that have maximum strength; and begin the endlessly interesting process of tying your own flies. This book concisely explains fishing ethics, offers helpful safety precautions, and defines basic angling terms. The chapter on fly-rod fish describes the unique sport that many species - from trout to whitefish - offer fly fishers. "Essential Fly Fishing" is a crisp, helpful, superbly illustrated primer of the highest rank.
