Written by Tom Rosenbauer and David Klausmeyer, this guide covers everything you need to know—from choosing rods, reels, and lines, through to mastering knots, casting techniques, fly selection, and the finer points of presentation. Whether you’re chasing trout in streams, targeting salmon and steelhead, exploring stillwaters, or heading into the salt, this book has you covered.

It even introduces modern methods like Tenkara and Czech nymphing, and features a new chapter on conservation, etiquette, and giving back—making it as much about the future of flyfishing as the past.
