The Orvis Quick-Start Guide to Fly Fishing is the only book a first-time angler needs to go from zero to catching fish in no time at all. Many people believe that learning to fly-fish is very difficult, but the truth is that, with a little expert instruction, anyone can become a successful fly fisher in a matter of days. Phil Monahan's just-the-basics approach will teach you what makes fly-fishing so special, exactly what tackle and gear you need for any given fishing situation, how to cast a fly rod, and fundamental fly-fishing techniques that catch fish. Everything is explained simply, clearly, and concisely without a lot of extraneous information, so you'll have the knowledge and skills to go out on the water with confidence.After four summers as a fly-fishing guide in Alaska and Montana, Phil Monahan spent two years working as an editor at Outdoor Life and a decade as editor-in-chief of American Angler.
