Summary

For the beginning angler, many first casts are met with negative expectations and frustration. However, a positive approach can make these first experiences more successful, and each subsequent cast more enjoyable. Positive Fly Fishing is an authoritative resource for the novice that details the key elements of fly fishing in clear, accessible detail. Above all, this guide teaches how positive thinking can enhance the learning experience and make fly fishing worthwhile. This companion includes chapters on everything the angler needs to know about rods, fly lines, waders, knots, fly casting, and much more. From the beginner to the veteran who never stops learning, no angler should be without this expert and indispensable guide that will surely turn every 'I can't' into 'Yes, I can'.
