Learn to fly fish from an expert and bring in the big catch As a newcomer to fly-fishing, you might frighten and lose fish simply because you haven't learned streamcraft, the art of stalking fish in moving water. "Fly Fishing in Rivers and Streams" teaches you how to master this art. The author explains how to angle successfully in every situation and in any stream, from brook to river.
