Question: Why another book on how to fly fish for trout? Answer: Because all of the books out there offer too much information for a beginner. This is all you need to know to get started. If you are a guy or gal who just wants to try this sport and enjoy the little time you have to go fishing, this book will get you on the stream and catching fish sooner than the others. Besides, once you understand and, more importantly, experience what is offered here, all the other books will make much more sense. Also included in the Fish Tales section are true stories outlining strategies, tactics and techniques as well as descriptions of some of my favoriite fishing spots. Table of Contents: 1.
