“The Complete Guide To Flyfishing” aims to answer the question why fly fishing has remained one of the world’s most popular pastimes for centuries. According to the author:

Fly fishing is an activity anyone can enjoy. It offers an incredibly unique mix of features and benefits. It’s a chance to commune with nature and an opportunity to use the latest in equipment. It offers a chance to challenge oneself to develop new skills and strategies while allowing an almost meditative state of relaxation.

Fly fishing is part sport, part hobby, part therapy and part lifestyle. It’s no wonder that it’s been a beloved activity for centuries.

This tongue-in-cheek ebook describes about 22 common fly casting mistakes and how to avoid and correct them. But “How to be a Lousy Fly Caster” is not a “text only” book - it contains over a hundred useful and, sometimes, funny illustrations, because (as the author says) “[r]esearch has revealed that, on average, a picture is worth 462 words”.

The author’s humorous “reverse-teaching” approach concentrates on “22 mistakes you can learn NOT to do”. As he says:

Compare your casting with the mistakes described in the book. When you find a match, you are a few practice sessions away from eliminating the problem and increasing your casting skill.

This is a complete step-by-step training kit filled with the latest and proven fly fishing techniques. As it so aptly proclaims, “fly fishing is more of an art than a science, but it’s one that anyone can master. All you need is burning desire and detailed instruction. You supply the former, and “The Fly Fishing Guidebook” provides the latter.”
