Bass on the Fly

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding book for the beginner or the expert.
Review: A. D. Livingston's writing style informs, entertains, and provides insight into this form of fly fishing. Unlike other books on the subject, the book doesn't have that feel of being a sales tool for a company's products. From basic casting to fly selection, Livingston covers all aspects of using the fly rod for bass. He is an accomplished fisherman and his superb knowledge of the species provides very educational reading. My only complaint about the book is that it was originally written 20 years ago. He gives opinions and recommendations on matters that are somewhat dated. However, I still highly recommend this book because of A. D.'s style. As you read, his personality jumps out of the words, making you feel like he is in the room talking to you. You will find yourself smiling, wishing you could have this guy over for dinner sometime, just to hear more of his stories and opinions.
