Description:
No angler will ever carp about wading into a stream with too much wisdom about the sport, the gear, the rituals, and the ceremonies. In fly-fishing, knowledge is power. It is knowledge dispensed both comprehensively and attractively in the encyclopedic Elements of Fly Fishing. With illustrations as useful as they are alluring, the volume is quite user-friendly at all levels of expertise. And an accomplished cast of contributors includes the likes of Paul Schullery, Dick Talleur, and Gary Soucie to guide you through the considerable lore, equipment, strategy, and technique--as well as the philosophizing that tends to accompany the experience. "Over the years," muses the ever-enjoyable Schullery, "I've come to realize that for all its great traditions and honored experts--for all the generations of brilliant minds trying to figure out how to catch fish--the most wonderful thing about fly fishing may be that most of the time the fish win." What true sporting soul can't stir to the challenge inherent in that observation? Elements goes far in setting that soul in the right direction. --Jeff Silverman
