Mel Krieger's book is the perfect book for anyone wanting to get their feet wet in fly fishing. It's not overly technical so even beginners such as me could benefit from Krieger's practical and lucid advice. But more than that, the author's enthusiasm and the beautiful photographs inspire so that the book not only gives you clear, step by step advice on technique but also gets you jazzed up about this most poetic pastime.
Highly recommended.
