Infos

Orvis From Lure to Fly is designed specifically for the gear angler who finds him- or herself wondering: “What's this fly fishing thing all about?" What makes this book different from other entry-level fishing books is that it empowers anglers to transfer their pre-existing skill-sets, rather than asking them to learn a new sport from scratch.

---

For any angler who wonders: Whats this fly fishing thing all about?What makes this ground-breaking book different from other entry-level fly fishing texts is that it speaks directly to anglers who are already proficient with conventional fishing tackle--spinning and baitcasting gear. Rather than take a start-from-scratch approach to fly fishing, this book helps anglers translate and transfer their existing knowledge base and skill set as it introduces and reinforces core fly fishing concepts. Covering bluegill, bass, trout, steelhead, salmon, pike, muskie and even carp, each chapter gives the new fly angler all the tools they need for chasing their favorite species with a fly rod. Whether you prefer wading small rivers or fishing big water from a boat, this book is your best gateway to the fascinating world of fly fishing.

Rezensionen

“I keep forgetting to write to tell you how much I enjoyed your piece on Poland. You are one of the few fishing writers I read these days (I do skim most of them but always read yours). Really nice work in the vein of John McPhee.”-- Tom Rosenbauer, Marketing Director, The Orvis Company “You are a freaking writing god!”-- Paris Fleezanis, Editor, This Is Fly “Dave, your Poland story was superb. The only thing that would have made it better is if it had run in The Drake.”-- Tom Bie, Editor, The Drake “I went through the story again and I have to say it’s really [expletive deleted] good.... You're a gem for me because, as I’ve said, you are one of my best writers. But your writing probably doesn’t end with Fly Rod & Reel or any of the fly trade-specific mags. You are a Garden & Gun, Outside type of guy.”-- Greg Thomas, Editor, Fly Rod & Reel“I'm contacting you because I'm a fan of your work. I was wondering if you might be interested in writing for Outdoor Life?”-- Gerry Bethe, Deputy Editor, Outdoor Life
