A comprehensive primer to flyfishing dealing with tackle, casting, knots, flies and tactics. "This is a book of a kind all too rare in fly-fishing literature - a truly elementary text-book...Mr. Hemingway is as praiseworthy for what he omits as for what he explains." (Review in the Birmingham Post).
