Excellent Instruction Manual!!! August 2, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is one of the best instruction manuals, on any subject, period. The narrative is concise and easy to understand, and their are plenty of photographs to illustrate the narratives. I can't think of any other book that will get you started. I'm a beginner myself, and I've even taken a class with an instructor. This book was even more helpful! BUY IT!

After having taken a Fly Fishing course at which Macauley was an instructor, I purchased his book on fly casting.
Macauley manages to pour his knowledge out onto these pages with as much clarity as he presents in person. With wit and ease, he presents the reader with the tools to learn fly casting, if a novice; and to greatly improve existing skills if a seasoned fly fisherman...or woman.
It'd been an honor and deep pleasure to witness his graceful, pure zen-like casting in person, and a continued joy to pour over his advice on paper.
Enjoy this book and keep it amongst your key handbooks/guides to this great lifeslyle - Fly Fishing.
Excellent Fly Casting Instructions and Wonderful Photos April 1, 2000
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
I just purchased this book last weekend and have found it to be an EXCELLENT instruction manual on fly casting. I've been flyfishing for a couple of years and have been frustrated by how difficult casting with a fly rod can be. This book has simple to follow casting techniques which are backed up by excellent photos. I have found the photo layouts particularly helpful since they show side by side photos showing poor technique and effective casting technique. I found that Mr. Lord's directions improved my casting distance and accuracy (in my backyard) after only one evening spent reading this book.Each chapter in the book ends with a detailed descriptions explaining how to troubleshoot common casting casting problems, again supported by nice explanations and photos to illustrate the points being made. Overall, I feel this was money well spent! This book is definately going to help make flyfishing more enjoyable and hopefully more productive...
