Summary: Fly Fishing For Bass
Review: I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. Now that I have read it, I can truly say that it didn't disappoint. The writing is pure Lefty Kreh - Straight forward, understandable instruction on how to catch more and bigger bass with a fly rod. This book is not directed at novice fly fishers. Little space in this little book is devoted to teaching you how to tie knots or flies and the author assumes that you already know how to make the basic casts. The author simply tells you what rods and reels to choose, what lines, leaders and flies to use in a specific situation and how to fish them. If you do as he suggests, you will get satisfying results. Far from a dry "how to" book, this is a distillation of practical lessons learned over a lifetime of studying and pursuing the subject species. I wish a text like this had been available decades ago when I began to appreciate the challenges and rewards of warmwater fly fishing. It could have saved me a lot of wasted time and money. Since reading this book, I am catching more bass, more consistently than ever before.
