Hi
Being a complete novice to the art of Fly-Fishing!
I have been trying to find a good beginners book on the subject. Having trawled through the pages of Amazon it would appear that most of the beginners books are aimed at the US based scene. Whilst I have no problem in that, I would like a book based on the British Fly fishing scene.
Can anyone recommend a good book?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

Tiz a good book that, but maybe you're after one on the fishing bit rather than the tying bit? Most of my "knowledge" was gained from mags or, belatedly, here. That, and bitter experience! So not really in a position to help, I'm afraid.

If you have a chum who can take you out for a few hours and show you the ropes, that's gonna be a whole lot more productive than any book. But I know that's not always possible, so hopefully somebody else here will be able to help.

Hi Mate

are yu thinking of river or stillwater fishing ? and I am sure we can suggest some good titles..

Andy

Hi
Thanks for the advice.
Both Stillwater and books covering river and stream.
Thanks
Mark

Trout from Stillwaters and Trout from rivers both by Peter Lapsley, I believe they were combined as 1 book recently.Recommended and usually quite cheap on amazon.everything you'll need and very readable.
