L.L. Bean Fly-fishing for Bass Handbook - Softcover

Say ?Dave Whitlock, and you don t need to say anything else. His name is included in the pantheon of American fly-fishing writers whose work has changed the way people fish. Whitlock is also known for his unending enthusiasm for teaching anglers new to the sport, for his open-mindedness and inquisitiveness, and for his ability as an illustrator. He is exactly the person to explain how to fly fish for bass.
Fly rodding for largemouth and smallmouth bass can be sheer fun, as both species strike explosively and fight madly. In this all-encompassing handbook, Whitlock introduces and examines angling techniques that will enable anglers at every skill level to catch bass on a fly rod.
There are chapters on the different types of bass and their habitats, choosing tackle, casting and fishing techniques and tactics, innovative flies, how to fish on both lakes and streams, and much more. With a new introduction from the author, this new edition can help expand the fly fisher s horizons beyond trout or take a traditional bass angler and turn him or her into a happy and successful fly rodder.
