A compact and easy-to-follow guide that breaks down the fundamentals of fly fishing, from casting and presentation to reading the water and choosing the right flies.

Clear, engaging, and remarkably insightful, it stands out as one of the most accessible and enjoyable introductions to the sport.

Why Choose This Fly-Fishing Pocket Guide?

  • Covers the core essentials: casting, presentation, reading water, and fly selection
  • Easy-to-understand format ideal for beginners and improvers
  • Insightful and engaging writing that makes learning enjoyable
  • Compact and portable – perfect for keeping in a vest or tackle bag
  • A trusted introduction to building confidence on the water

Two highly respected outdoor journalists, Kirk Deeter of Field & Stream and Charlie Meyers of the Denver Post, have cracked open their notebooks and shared straight-shot advice on the sport of fly fishing, based on a range of new and old experiences--from interviews with the late Lee Wulff to travels with maverick guides in Tierra del Fuego.

The mission of The Little Red Book of Fly Fishing is to demystify and un-complicate the tricks and tips that make a great trout fisher. There are no complicated physics lessons here. Rather, conceived in the take dead aim & spirit of Harvey Penick's classic instructional on golf, The Little Red Book of Fly Fishing offers a simple, digestible primer on the basic elements of fly fishing: the cast, presentation, reading water, and selecting flies.

  • In the end, this collection of 240 tips is one of the most insightful, plainly spoken, and entertaining works on this sport - one that will serve both novices and experts alike in helping them reflect and hone in their approaches to fly fishing.
