Summary

In Learn to Fly-cast in a Weekend, experienced angler and fly-casting instructor Tim Rolston presents a comprehensive teaching plan for perfecting one of most important elements of fly-fishing: the cast. With his frank style and detailed instructions, Rolston breaks fly-fishing down to the basics. Sixteen easy-to-follow lessons cover every step of the process, from the first tentative strokes to casting full fly-lines into the wind, with photographs and diagrams to illustrate the finer points of the fly-casting technique. The book also discusses and debunks some of the more common myths associated with fly-fishing, demystifying it and making this the ideal guide for first-time anglers wishing to learn how to fly-fish, and experienced fly-fishers wanting to perfect their technique.
