The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide

Rating:
Summary: Good book for beginners.
Review: Rosenbauer's text and the accompanying illustrations provide an excellent introduction to fly fishing. As a beginner, I found most of my questions answered. Also, I found the drawings of the techniques for tying different knots to be a godsend! (I was never a boy scout, and have trouble knotting my tie.) I was a little disappointed that the text had some typos and grammatical errors. However, it was interesting and very helpful nevertheless

Summary: Great book
Review: This book is awesome but the pictures could be a little better organized. In addition there are some basics that could be addressed better. tippet, leader, line, backing...show me a simple picture with all these in order so I know what I am taking about at the fly shop without having to re-read the section. Other than that this is a great book for me, a beginner of fly fishing but a seasoned spinner real fisherman.

Summary: Comprehensive and Easy to Read
Review: Tom Rosenbauer clearly and concisely covers the basics that a beginning fly fisher needs to know: from the basic gear to casting, to knots to reading trout streams, you will find he covers the basic questions beginners have well. Tom's writing style is fluid and enjoyable which makes learning all the more fun. It's the best book I have read on the basics of fly fishing; after reading it you will certainly feel like you have enough knowledge to get out there and start catching fish. As far as I am concerned, you cant go wrong with any book by Tom!
