Essential Fly Fishing : A Fast Start for a Lifetime Journey of Discovery

Description: You are about to start a lifetime trip to a world of discovery. Through fly fishing, you will learn to see creatures invisible to other people. You will discover a new world of literature, new friends, new places-far flung and near at hand, and all interesting. The fly rod is an extraordinary fishing tool, enabling you to catch fish when other anglers cannot. Once you learn the rhythm of the rod, however, simply fishing with it may become more gratifying than catching with it. The rhythm of the rod carries your body, mind, and spirit to the water. Whether you catch a fish or not, the water will always give you a little of its strength, some of its energy, and much of its peace. As you fall asleep after a day of fly fishing, you can feel the rhythm of the rod and of the water. Fly fishing is paradoxical: It will stimulate you as it relaxes you. It is as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Learning to fish with a fly rod is easy, even though it may not seem so at first. Casting requires neither strength nor genius. It helps to have a little rhythm and some coordination; if you can tap your fingers to a tune, that's enough. You can master the fundamentals of fly fishing in a weekend, and you can spend a lifetime learning about the sport, the art, and the science of fly fishing from hundreds of wonderful books and videotapes, and from the new friends you're going to meet. Your best teachers will be the water-its currents and creatures. When we worked together on Fly Fisherman Magazine, John Randolph, my editor and friend, would say that there was nothing new in fly fishing, only variations on proven tackle and techniques. So it is with this handbook: It contains an assortment of proven teaching techniques from five fly fishing schools, dozens of workshops, and seminars, and scores of brilliant authors.
