A tip-by-tip guide to fly fishing

Organized into five parts, this guide breaks fly fishing into practical areas: casting, presenting a fly, reading water, choosing and rigging flies, and other aspects such as wading and handling fish. Its 240 tips offer a structured overview of the skills involved in fishing for trout, from making an accurate cast to deciding where and how to place a fly. The format keeps the subject divided into discrete topics, making the book a reference for both foundational techniques and details anglers can revisit as they refine their approach.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Those new to fly fishing who want an overview of its basic techniques
  • Anglers seeking tips on casting, fly selection, and reading water
  • Experienced fly fishers interested in revisiting and refining their approach

Book overview

Kirk Deeter of Field & Stream and Charlie Meyers of the Denver Post, crack open their notebooks and share expert advice on flies, casting, reading the water, and much more.

The mission of The Little Red Book of Fly Fishing is to demystify and un-complicate the tricks and tips that make a great trout fisher. There are no complicated physics lessons here. Rather, conceived in the "take dead aim" spirit of Harvey Penick's classic instructional on golf, The Little Red Book of Fly Fishing offers a simple, digestible primer on the basic elements of fly fishing: the cast, presentation, reading water, and selecting flies. The Table of Contents includes:
  • Part One: The Cast: 45 Tips to Help You Cast Straighter, Longer, and More Accurately
  • Part Two: Presentation: 60 Tips to Help you Place and Drift Your Flies So that Trout Will Want to Eat Them
  • Part Three: Reading Water: 37 Tips to Help You Find Trout in a Rive and Effectively Cast to them
  • Part Four: 43 Tips to Help You Select, Rig, and Fish the Right Fly at the Right Time in the Right Way
  • Part Five: Miscellaneous: 65 Tips on Fighting Fish, Wading, Choosing Ger, and Everything Else That Matters

In the end, this collection of 240 tips is one of the most insightful, plainly spoken, and entertaining works on this sport--one that will serve both novices and experts alike in helping them reflect and hone-in their approaches to fly fishing.
