In this practical, beautifully illustrated guide, renowned fisherman Lefty Kreh imparts his expertise on advanced fly-fishing techniques. Like private instruction from a master angler, this book offers the methods of fly fishing that can make you a better, more effective angler.There is new advice on reading trout streams, with photographs and line drawings to help readers understand the behavior of fish, whether they are hiding, eating, or at rest. There's advice on hooking, fighting, landing, and releasing fish, with detailed drawings explaining exactly what you need to know. There are also chapters on approach and presentation, knots, and tackle -- how to choose the right fly, which line to select, which rod and reel to use -- and a section on special techniques for different types of fish.
This is a volume that belongs in every fly fisher's library. Whether you've been fishing only a short time or have spent years perfecting your craft, the information in Advanced Fly-Fishing Techniques will prove invaluable.
