While A. K. likes to think of fly-fishing in simple terms — “I have always thought that going fly-fishing simply meant that you drove to the stream, strung up your rod, tied on a fly, looked for a rising trout, and then cast to it until you caught it," — he acknowledges that it can get more complicated. And that's what makes each fly-fishing experience new and exciting and fun. Having had years of good times on the water, A. K. shares what he does to improve his chances of success and how he deals with the complications. A. K. explains casting in detail, with photographs of false casting, roll casting, skip casting, cross-body casting, and includes the secrets of ones he's developed himself, such as the lean cast and the painting cast. He reviews which rods and casts are best in wind, tight quarters, when there are obstructions behind, and when you need to cast to the other side of the stream. From preparing to head out to the stream to releasing the hard-won fish, you'll pick up valuable tips that will enrich your fishing.
