Drag-Free Drift: Leader Design and Presentation Techniques for Fly Fishing

Rating:
Summary: I haven't read this book
Review: Leaders are one of the few pieces of gear that make an enormous difference in fly fishing. Judging by equipment sales, there are some people out there who would like to buy some piece of gear that would make them better fishers. The leader is far and away the most likely to allow you to buy an advantage. The obvious example being the Harvey Dry Fly leader, which guarantees you at least as much drag free drift as a week at the best fly fishing school. There are many other examples. My advice though is to search out a formula for a leader for polish nymphing, and get Presentation by Gary Borger. It has the best chapter on leaders I have read, and a few hundred other worthy pages to boot.
