Fly Fishing at its best August 28, 2008
A great primer for those new to Fly Fishing. I bought it as an introduction for my nephews so that we could enjoy the sport together
 Great to start June 23, 2008
Great result when you use a buying catalogue like Cabelas, Orvis or L.L. Bean and combine it with the information of this guide... they should make an spanish version
Are you a flyfisher this book is for you. May 21, 2008

This was a reccommended book for any flyfisherman. I bought the Orvis and i just had to have the L.L. Bean book too. Both are great products. L.L. Bean has outdone themselves what a great book for any fisherman. This is a father's Day gift and i can't wait to give it to my dad. He will love it.
Thanks,
Chase
One of the best "how-to" books on fly fishing December 30, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
This is a composite of three previously published L. L Bean guides: fly-fishing, casting, and fly tying. The first part is Whitlock's book on fly-fishing and is one of the best (the other being Rosenbauer's Orvis book) introductions to the sport of fly fishing. The Whitlock illustrations are always great, and the information is top-notch. You will find out everything you need from fly lines to fly rods to knots to basic flies.
Add the other two parts and this is an excellent overall view of all three areas. Because of the comprehensive approach, it is one of the best "how to" books on fly-fishing available.
Don't be fooled by the "L.L.Bean" title--the book does not promote their products. It is a top-rated introduction to fly fishing, casting, and tying.

Bought this book before fly fishing for the first time. Great pictures and text. goes into detail that I won't "outgrow" for a long time.
