 Fear of Fly Fishing is Heaven-Scent. September 15, 2006
Dear Reader,
This book is an absolute gem. It makes me laugh out loud evey time I open it, no matter how terribly crappie or happy I feel....and being a fly fisherman myself, I can fully appreciate every fact of reel life that is put forth. Ohman correctly uncovers many realities of the sport in the most hilarious of ways, dealing with topics such as: (1) the four true personality profiles of fly fishing guides, (2)the kid who outfishes you, using a hula popper and a muskie-sized bobber, and (3)the terrible trials of fly tying, and (4)a parody of Izaak Walton's The Complete Angler ("...let's clear this up once and for all: He used worms.")
There are a lot of humorous fishing books that poke fun at the sport....but this is the best one I know. Ohman's sense of humor is supreme, all the way through. Order one for yourself. It would make a great gift for fledgling (and expert) fly anglers of all nearly all ages (9 and up), especially ones who are still learning and need a little guidance into the true realities of our beloved sport.
