 Other reviewer confused May 26, 2010

I think the reviewer who complained there was too much fly-tying in this book must have it confused with another book. There is absolutely no fly-tying in it--this book is strictly a guide to the basics of fly FISHING.

I have been flyfishing since I was 13, and I still found lots of good information in this book. Great book to keep as a reference.
 LL Bean Guide Is Better For Beginner August 11, 2009

5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I found the LL Bean Guide to be much more informative to a new trout fisherman than The Orvis Fly-Sishing Guide, Completely Revised and Updated with Over 400 New Color Photos and Illustrations. I bought both books, along with The Orvis Guide to Beginning Fly Fishing: 101 Tips for the Absolute Beginner, as a package from Amazon. This book was quite a bit more informative than the Orvis book. While expected promotion of the Orvis brand, the Orvis book is practically a sales catalog for the Orvis brand, whereas the LL Bean book focused more on casting techniques and other much needed information, that was less in depth with the Orvis book. Also, the Orvis book dedicates way too many pages to fly tying, well over 1/3rd of the book, an art that is surely lost on the beginner fly fisherman. I firmly believe that most new fly fisherman will buy flys for quite a while before beginning to tie their own. There is so much to learn and practice in fly fishing to take on the art of fly tying in my opinion.
Was new to fly fishing and needed a book February 9, 2009

If you are new to fly fishing and looking for a book, this is it. This book covers all the basics that a person new to the sport will need. But where other intro books are too high level, this book also goes into enough detail to actually provide some insight and understanding of the sport. I have been fly fishing for three years now and have re-read this book before each season. It makes more and more sense each time I read it as I can relate my experiences each year back to what is in the book.
