For Your Bookshelf

Just like any art, fly-fishing is greatly improved by knowing something more than the basics about the history, development, and nuance of the practice.

Mr Trout doesn't always make himself as accessible as we anglers might wish. You have to know your way around his neighborhood if you're going to get a fly under his nose. And when he's being particularly elusive, having the right gear for wet-work can make the difference between a successful afternoon and a few hours of casting practice.
