Summary: Terrific,Clear and concise, easy to read and understand
Comment: The Essiential Guide to Fly Fishing is a rarity.,The author takes you step by step thru the process which to some can be very intimidating. In a very,down to earth process and without the technical jargon found in similer publication. Cleve provides you with a wealth of information and processes which allows everyone from the expert to the least experienced to enter the realm of the of Fly Fishing or simply increase their understanding and knowledge of the sport
As the owner of a Fly Shop, I have used this book, and will continue to use it as a reliable source of information to provide my customers with answers to their many technical questions. I highly recommend it as "required" reading in our fly fishing classes. Our copies sold out within two weeks of receipt.

Summary: Casting Instruction Alone is Terrific!
Comment: "Are You A Flailer?"
"BACK CAST: That part of the fly cast where the rod and line are lifted up and backward so the line travels straight behind the caster.
FORWARD CAST: The delivery portion of the fly cast. The forward cast starts when the line has straightened out behind.
FALSE CAST: Back and forward casts that allow the angler to lengthen the amount of line being cast before the line is allowed to drop to the water. False casts help the angler change the direction of casting. A few snappy false casts also help remove excess water from dry flies. False casting also is used to measure the distance of the cast relative to a rising fish. Many new fly-anglers false cast too much. That is, they cast back and forth in the same direction and do not let line out .. they just flail away with no real purpose." (from The Essential Guide to Fly Fishing.)
So, what is that all about? This is not a book review section, it's supposed to be about casting. Ok, those are from the glossary of a new soft cover book for anyone just getting into fly fishing. The author is Clive Schaupmeyer from Brooks, Alberta, Canada. It is published by Johnson Gorman Publishers, Red Deer Alberta, Canada. It is a very good book, 288 pages that cover the whole of fly fishing. For a new angler it will do a dandy job. What about casting? Yup, he covers that; not only how to, but where to, and why to, as well." (excerpt from Castwell Casting Corner, FlyAnglers OnLine")

Summary: Must-have book for the beginner fly fisher.
Comment: Fly fishing is a puzzle to a beginner. One of the pleasant aspects of managing a fly shop is helping new flyfishers assemble that puzzle and watch as their knowledge and skills grow. But, what do you do if the beginner doesn't live in a place that offers the fine instruction available from a fly shop? What text book do you recommend to the beginner who wants to learn fly fishing essentials on his own?
In the 34 years I've been fly fishing, I've read many books that covered parts of the fly fishing puzzle, but no single book that completely assembled it in simple, easy-to-read terms. 'The Essential Guide to Fly-Fishing' by Clive Schaupmeyer is the first book I've read that assembles the whole puzzle in simple, easy language.
Between the covers of this 288 page paperback book, you'll find complete, accurate information on gear selection and assembly, insect identification and the flies that match them, casting and line control, stream and lake strategies, hooking and releasing fish, and much more. And, the information you read is highlighted with over two hundred pictures and drawings. It is, in fact, the best and most complete guide to freshwater fly fishing I've read.
If you're a novice or intermediate flyfisher, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of this book. If you're just beginning, it's an essential tool you can't afford to be without. You can find it at your local fly shop, or contact Lonepine Publishers at 1-800-661-9017 and order a copy. At $17.95 US or $22.95 Canadian, it's a real bargain.
