Customer Reviews

Good concise guide
This guide is perfect for the beginner as well as those with more experience. It sticks to the job in hand and is never boring or verbose.
Great for keeping in a pocket or chucking in your backpack - Good value for money!

Great little book
An unpretensious and cheap little book. Very useful little nuts and bolts guide. You'll get more from it than many five times this price. No glossy photos, but clear line drawings. No overly poetic musings on the philosophy of the hunt or the part fishing played in the author's finding of themselves. Just a straightforward "how to". Finally!

Happy customer
I purchased this book for a friend who had never done fly fishing before and it was a great help in getting him started.
