Practical fly-fishing tips from a guide who knows
how to teach.
7 simple, easy-to-understand lessons on
often-overlooked fundamentals: drift, reading
water, position of angler and rod, casting, line
control, mending.
Chapters on dry-fly fishing, nymphing, best rigs,
and guide flies.
"[Stroup’s] seven common-sense principles
along with the illustrations by Dave Hall take a lot
of the frustrating guesswork out of what many
consider a difficult sport. . . . Reading the book is
like having a guide accompany you on every trip to a
stream, and it should be a valuable addition to your
fly-fishing library."
-Charles Meck, from the foreword
