The Little Red Book<br />

of Fly Fishing<br />

A pocket guide that offers insightful, plainspoken, expert advice<br />

for every fly fisher.<br />

Two highly respected outdoor journalists, Kirk Deeter of<br />

Field&Stream and Charlie Meyers of the Denver Post, have<br />

cracked open their notebooks and shared straight-shot advice<br />

on the sport of fly fishing, based on a range of new and old<br />

experiences—from interviews with the late Lee Wulff to travels<br />

with maverick guides in Tierra del Fuego.<br />

The mission of The Little Red Book of Fly Fishing is to demystify<br />

and un-complicate the tricks and tips that make a great trout<br />

fisher. There are no complicated physics lessons here. Rather,<br />

conceived in the “take dead aim” spirit of Harvey Penick’s classic<br />

instructional on golf, The Little Red Book of Fly Fishing offers a<br />

simple, digestible primer on the basic elements of fly fishing: the<br />

cast, presentation, reading water, and<br />

selecting flies. In the end, this collection<br />

of 240 tips is one of the most insightful,<br />

plainly spoken, and entertaining works<br />

on this sport—one that will serve both<br />

novices and experts alike in helping<br />

them reflect and hone in their approaches<br />

to fly fishing.<br />
