The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide is the new edition of one of the best books for introducing anyone to the sport of fly fishing, whether the angler wants to shop for equipment at Orvis or Wal-Mart. The information is clearly explained without going into tedious details that novices (and experienced anglers) don’t want. Everything is covered here–from rod types to fly lines to casting basics. The excellent graphics are helpful–especially of the knots. Some books have knot instructions that are impossible to follow–”knot” so here! For someone who wants to start fly fishing, this book would make a great start.
