Recensioner i media

The authors have distilled the absolute essentials for each of the casts they describe...the book’s brevity is a blessing rather than a drawback. A further strength is the graphics. They are quite remarkable and convey what is said in the text with bullet-proof clarity.I think this is an essential book for beginners, but seasoned fly fishers will benefit from it as well, as will fly guides who can safely recommend it to their clients and students for its conciseness, clarity and comprehensiveness.
