Ladies! You Will Want to Fish Alaska!
I just finished reading "Fly Fishing Women" by Ceclia "Pudge" Kleinkauf. The book is a written in a fashion to make you think you are right there fishing along side all these ladies from different parts of the country. As you travel with this group to different parts of Alaska, Pudge explains in each section the equipment used and flies to tie on. The photography is beautiful. At the end of the ...

Wonderful
If anyone knows The South Platte it's Pat. He is one of Colorado's premier guides and has appeared on ESPN fishing shows more than once. There is no questions about how tough the South Platte is to fish, who better to teach you about it than Pat. Wonderfully written, insightful and a delight.

Great read for any outdoor enthusiast. High quality photos and historical accounts provide an entertaining and informative glance into flyfishing in this area. A few laughs as well along the way, you can't help but smile about lenghths some people go to to appease their fishing addiction! I bought a few as gifts, they are very well received and comfortably occupy any den or coffee table.

Tilbury House Publishers, 2000

This book's a great catch!
This is a very interesting book about a colorful woman who put Maine on the map with her tireless writings and promotions. The first part is about Cornelia's life, and the second part is from "Fly Rod's" letters and an album of vintage photos by Edwin Starbird. It all makes for a fascinating collection about this bold New Englander! With an odd nickname like Fly Rod, Cornelia Crosby was bound to ...

Ralph Cutter

Stackpole Books, 2005

fun, informative resource
I'm a neophyte fly fisherman and daunted (albeit fascinated) by aquatic entomology. Cutter's book is fantastic. He covers the bases in a humorous fashion, with a perspective not present in other books I've read. He challanges alot of orthodox ideas and puts you in a trouts-eye-view that leaves you looking at a familiar stream a bit differently. A really enjoyable read. In fact, I was ...

Chuck Tryon

Ozark Mountain Fly Fishers, 1985

Missouri Trout fishing will be overlooked no more!
Chuck Tryon and his wife Sharon did a fabulous job in letting the world know that Missouri is a Trophy Water Trout state. I bought this book several years ago when I moved to Missouri from New York and it has been my guide ever since. No trout fisher who is headed to the "Show Me State" should be without this manual. Every spot is detailed so you can not miss. Great book!

Scott Sadil

Greycliff Publishing Company, 1999

Sadil Strikes Again
This is an amazing gem, like Sadil's earlier book. If you grew up along the coast, surfed, fished (bait, fly, bone jigs, inflated worms, whatever), smoked a bit, got lost on dirt tracks in Baja, raised kids, were a father - or a son - you will resonate with this. And even if you weren't, or didn't, there is writing here that surprises and delights in its poignancy and penetration. A great book ...

If you can't afford to buy this book... then steal a copy!
Prior to reading this book, I found I had so many questions, and that was after taking a 3 day class at a local fly shop. I blundered about all summer trying to remember how to do this or that. Dana answered ALL of my questions on general fly fishing in this one book. She covers everything from gear to safety (for women fishing alone), from knots to bug selection, from casting to playing fish. ...

Various

Berkley Trade, 1996

Beautifully written; humor, romance, and why we fish.
This book is not just about fly-fishing, nor is it just about women who fly-fish. The authors and editors have put together a wonderful blend of humor, romance, nostalgia, and the reasons we all fly-fish, male or female. The stories describe the intimidation factor of entering a male dominated sport, why they chose to do so, and what they have learned about life from the experience. It ...

Cecilia Kleinkauf

Spring Creek Press, 2006

Absolutely must read!
So maybe I'm a little biased because I'm one of the girls in the book, but there is nobody better than Cecilia Kleinkauf to help teach girls how to fish. I had the priviledge of fishing with her in Alaska, and she really knows her stuff. I also read the book cover to cover and it is so informative and made me want to go out and fish right then! If you have a young girl and are trying to get her ...

Seth Norman

The Lyons Press, 2004

A VERY PLEASING BOOK
Truly good angling storytellers are scarce. Stale writing has become commonplace. Thank goodness Seth Norman has served us up this fresh, sumptuous repast. His lyrical and lively style is unique, yet it contains a quality found in the works of the late Edward Abbey and Roderick Haig-Brown. Zesty, unabashed, and compassionate. Is that possible? Read, in particular, Chapter 5 ("Where We Learn ...

Harpercollins, 1993

I Am Carrying J.R. Hartley's Child
I happily awarded this book 5 stars for one reason and one reason only. A few years ago one of the most popular television commercials broadcast in the UK showed an old gentleman scouring his local bookshops in search of an out-of-print book: Fly Fishing by JR Hartley. After a few fruitless days involving countless visits to rundown second hand bookshops, his daughter says "No luck Dad? Never ...

Darrel Martin

The Lyons Press, 2006

Delightful and enlightening
I learned fly fishing and fly tying using my grandfather's books and gear back in the '70s, so I was already a little behind the times at the very point I started, but I've always enjoyed the sense of connection to past traditions that was inherent then. Somewhere along the way, I fell out of fly fishing for a decade or two, and when I returned, nothing was familiar anymore. Graphite rods, ...
