If you are going to learn to fly fish, you should learn from the best.

This is a great book from one of the best. We owe so much to Van Put for his preservation of fly fishing history.

In this book he sets his sights on helping us learn from his expertise and experience to make us better anglers.

If he doesn’t succeed at this goal the fault is ours, not this amazing work
