The Practical Fly Fisher: Lessons Learned from a Lifetime of Fly Fishing

Sprinkled in between the fly dressings and tying lessons--and alongside his own personal anecdotes--longtime fishing guide Doug Stewart shares insights and instructions that will add to your fishing success in this illustrated guide.

The Practical Fly Fisher will help you become a more complete angler, a better fly tier, and a more successful fly fisher. On top of covering all aspects of fly fishing: casting, proper equipment, tying flies, reading water, the feeding habits of fish, and the proper strategy for fishing a stretch of river, included inside in the book are the secrets of Doug's favorite patterns.

Doug Stewart, a lifelong fly fisher, is also a fly-tying instructor, guide and a fly shop owner. He has written about fly-fishing for The Oregon Sportsman and Amato Publications. Doug spent many years teaching customers how to fly fish during the thirty-two years he owned Stewart's Fly Shop. "I think I get more out of teaching someone, out of seeing them be successful or catch their first fish, than I do out of catching my own," Doug says.
