best (get out your streamers), stream tactics, and fishing lore. |

| Tying Foam Flies
by Skip Morris |
|
Skip has given us a very nice
little guide to types of foam and their uses as tying material. The book
is limited to pure-foam or foam and rubber flies. The intention of the
author is to provide a starting point for fly tyers. He makes it very
clear and easy to tie the patterns in this book, and his descriptions of
the various types of foams cleared a clouded subject for me. Also, get
the companion video for even more clarity.

| Full Creel
by Nick Lyons |
|
For years, Nick Lyons has
endeared himself to readers by reminding them of why they fish. Now, at
last, he has assembled his favorite pieces into a beautifully
illustrated collection that will stand as a classic of fishing
literature. Drawn from a career that spans over thirty years, the pieces
re-create the essence of angling. They capture the meditative rhythm of
casting, the burst of adrenaline when a fish strikes, the quiet joy of
standing in a river, and the abiding passion for a sport that so often
turns into hopeless if benign addiction. Yet Full Creel is much more
than a wonderful book about fishing; it is also the summing up of a rich
and fascinating life. A husband, father, book publisher, and former
English professor, Nick Lyons weaves his personal experiences and
knowledge throughout his tales, creating textured ruminations on the
links between angling and family, philosophy, and literature. This is an
essential book for anyone who enjoys fishing literature. |
John Goddard's
Trout-Fishing Techniques
by John Goddard and Lefty Kreh |
|
Much in this guide is dealt with in any
number of other titles in the desperately crowded trout-fishing field,
but drawing upon 50 years of trout-fishing experience, Goddard produces
a solid, well-written example of the type. So weed out a couple of other
trout books, add this one, and steer anyone who asks how to start fly
fishing for trout to it, if only to avoid leafing through lots of other
tomes. Goddard covers many of the basics and also delves into obscure
techniques--for example, the parachute roll cast, which will be used by
only the most experienced and talented fly fishers. Hopefully, the final
chapter, on the basics of fly tying, black-and-white in the review copy,
will be in color, if only to afford better appreciation of what tying is
all about, for glaringly lacking is any explanation of the mechanics of
fly tying--so go back to the groaning trout-fishing shelves and glean it
from one of those other books.

| Presenting the
Fly by Lefty Kreh |
|
A fly-fishing master teaches
the intricate art of properly presenting a fly. Nothing is more
important in fly fishing than successfully presenting the fly. No matter
what rod, reel, line, and fly are used, the fish will not take if the
fly is presented with a splash or out of target. In this comprehensive
book, Lefty Kreh explains that the art of presentation is much more than
dropping the fly in the best position--it also involves the clothes you
wear, the methods you use to rig your tackle, how and where you approach
the fish, the types of fly lines and reels you use, the direction of the
light, the type of cover, and the retrieval method used, among other
factors. Lefty delves into each of these subjects with his usual
knowledgeable vigor. Lefty also describes the different methods of
presentation for the various species of fish-- from trout and other
freshwater species to fish that inhabit backcountry and inshore waters
to exciting saltwater species like permit and even sharks. With over one
hundred photographs and line drawings, this book belongs on every
angler's bookshelf. |

the Cast by Ed Jaworoski |
