This is THE book for the beginning Fly Fisher man or woman. Used for the past ten years by the Rip Van Winkle Chapter of Trout Unlimited in their fly fishing course, "Guide to Fly Fishing for the Beginner" is packed with information ... even for the experienced fisherman ... and will help you to get on the stream and start casting, tying knots, selecting flies and reading the water. Griffin has a way of putting concepts simply and his clear prose describes a No-Baloney approach to fly fishing. Also, a short chapter at the end of the book introduces the beginner to fly tying.
