With graceful casts, leaping trout, and beautiful scenery, fly-fishing is a relaxing way to spend the day—if you know what you’re doing! If not, it can be a frustrating day of twisted lines and no fish. If you’d prefer the relaxing day, then Get Started Fly-Fishing! will help you develop a clear understanding of the fundamentals of fly-fishing and catching trout on a fly rod. Fly-fishing is a very complex and intimidating sport, and Schuhmann breaks it down to easy-to-understand sections on: trout; fishing presentations; fly-fishing gear; knots and riggings; fly-casting fundamentals; trout food and fly patterns; reading water; and many other useful tips. In addition to teaching the basics, this book also gives recommendations for developing the more nuanced approaches required for specific rivers and conditions. The author has introduced hundreds of anglers to the sport using the principles in this book—and they will work for you too.
