Size: 7x1x9; In Very Good+ condition. There's an old saying among fly fishers

Size: 7x1x9; In Very Good+ condition. There's an old saying among fly fishers that equipment isn't the only thing, it's everything. But the best equipment in the world will catch few fish if you don't know how to use it. Experienced anglers with dimestore equipment can outfish the superbly equipped tyro every time--because they know how it's done. With nearly fifty years of fly fishing to look back on, Tom McNally knows how it's done, from angling for tiny brook trout in mountain streams to fly casting for giant marlin in the open ocean--and everything in between. This book is the culmination of a long and respected career as one of the world's best-known outdoor writers--the collected knowledge of almost half a century of fly fishing condensed to fit between two covers. Here, in plain language, is a complete book of fly fishing from a complete fly fisherman. Chapters include: About fly fishing; Fly rods; Fly reels; Fly lines; Leader design and construction; Popular fly-fishing knots; Fly-casting basics; Advanced fly casting; Gear for the fly fisherman; Trout-fishing flies; Special flies and bugs; How to tie flies; Wet-fly fishing for trout; Dry-fly fishing for trout; Nymph fishing for trout; Streamer fishing for trout; Hooking, playing, and landing fish with a fly rod; On the stream; Techniques for low-water trout; Fishing bass bugs; Spinners and porkrind for bass; Streamers and nymphs for bass; Dry flies for stream smallmouths; Fly fishing salt water, inshore; Fly fishing salt water, offshore; Special fish species. Over the years McNally wrote 29 outdoor books and thousands of magazine outdoor features and newspaper stories and columns. He also did radio, television and some videos. For years he was on the field staff of Field & Stream magazine, helped form and get Fly Fisherman magazine off the ground, and was a columnist for Fishing World magazine for 20 years. He is in the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame (trout were his primary fish, and he fished all the great trout rivers worldwide, from Chile to Norway, and everywhere in between).
