Shadowcasting: An Introduction to the Art of Flyfishing

by Gary Hubbell, Gary Hubbell

From movie stunts to letters from the great beyond, John Dietsch and Gary Hubbell bring a fresh new perspective to learning to flyfish. John Dietsch, the flyfishing production coordinator on the filming of "A River Runs Through It," taught the actors in the movie to flyfish. He brings the same techniques to the beginning flyfisherman. His co-author, writer/photographer/fishing guide Gary Hubbell, has gained renown for teaching solid flyfishing fundamentals to thousands of beginners. Together Dietsch and Hubbell were instrumental in creating the CD-ROM "The ESPN Flyfishing School." Each of the book's chapters is comprised of solid instructional techniques, accompanied by an anecdote from the authors' fishing experiences. The stories range from humorous accounts of guiding beginners, to intriguing descriptions of filming flyfishing scenes, to deeply personal accounts of losing a brother to cancer. The book includes a stunning 16-page photo section with brilliant color photos by co-author Gary Hubbell, as well as several incredible photos by John Kelly from the set of "A River Runs Through It."
