Why would you want to get into fly fishing? Because fly fishing looks cool. Because it burns 420 calories an hour. Because it's a life time sport. Because it takes place in some of the most beautiful places on earth.
Here’s how to get into it for under $100.
But from a book co-authored by a bug?
Picking up a book that quotes a bug is probably NOT how you thought you'd finally get into fly fishing. I understand the skepticism. But listen. Bugs know more about fish than any of us. And catching fish, especially trout, with an artificial bug is what you want to get into.
Stoney, the homeless stonefly, will get you into fly fishing quickly, easily, intuitively, and without plundering your life savings, credit score, or family serenity.
This book gives you just the straight forward essentials in photos, bullet lists, and humor. It is NOT a sport reserved for the privileged few Rocky Mountain rich guys.
Most fly fishing introduction books written by humans are doomed from the start. They describe the underwater world as it appears to humans, not as it appears to fish or more importantly aquatic insects, like Stoney, the homeless stonefly. His family has been dealing with trout for 56 million years, your family for less than 56,000. Do the math, buy the book.
