The Orvis Quick-Start Guide to Fly Fishing is the only book a first-time angler needs to go from zero to catching fish in no time at all. Many people believe that learning to fly-fish is very difficult, but the truth is that, with a little expert instruction, anyone can become a successful fly fisher in a matter of days. Phil Monahan’s just-the-basics approach will teach you what makes fly-fishing so special, exactly what tackle and gear you need for any given fishing situation, how to cast a fly rod, and fundamental fly-fishing techniques that catch fish. Everything is explained simply, clearly, and concisely without a lot of extraneous information, so you’ll have the knowledge and skills to go out on the water with confidence.
Important topics include:

• Tackle Selection—Making sure you have the right tools
• Casting—Including step-by-step photos featuring Orvis instructor Pete Kutzer
• Fish Biology and Behavior—Understand the species you're targeting
• Basic Entomology and Fly Selection—How to identify and imitate the bugs trout eat
• How to Read Water—Learn where fish live in rivers and lakes
• Fly Presentation—How to put all this knowledge together to catch fish
• Warmwater Fly Fishing—A whole chapter on how to catch bass and panfish
