Becoming a fly-fisherman can be ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors and a genuine communion with nature and are looking for ways to experience one of the most challenging sports ever. How to start? Fly-Fishing for the Clueless has all the answers about this hugely popular sport, so often shrouded in secrecy, confusion, and mystical mumbo-jumbo.
Beginners will learn everything they need to know about catching salt-water and fresh-water fish with a line, a hook, and an artificial fly. Here are the essentials -- from the insects that are imitated, tackle, knots, casting, and exercises. Here, too, are strategies for finding fish, and techniques for storing, cleaning, filleting, and cooking them once they're caught. There's also information on law, manners, ethics, and safety of fishing.
