Fly Fishing for the Compleat Idiot: A No-Nonsense Guide to Fly Casting

Rating:
Summary: Not worthwhile
Review: there are much better books out there, whether you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced. This book offers nil.

Rating:
Summary: Great Advice
Review: This is an outstanding book for someone wishing to get started in fly fishing. Though some of the information is a bit dated - like on waders, the author cuts through all the elitist garbage and nonsense to help someone starting out with what's important, a decent rod and some help casting a fly. I've flyfished for almost 20 years and would highly recommend this book to any beginner.

Summary: Book is fair at best
Review: While I felt that there was some humor in this book, it was nothing to wright home about. There was some good tips that all seemed to be rehashed from Rutters other book " fly fishing made easy". of the two books on fly fishing that Rutter has Written was far more infomative as a guid to learning to fly fish. One book from him would have been plenty.
