After listening to The Orvis podcast hosted by Tom for years, I finally picked this book up to read through his insights and wisdom.

This book did not disappoint - highly recommend for someone just getting into fly fishing or someone looking to review or hone some fundamental skills. Great book for the off-season.

Very informative instruction manual for a beginner fly fisherman to get the lay of the land.

[Joseph Hernandez · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is more a catalog of Orvis gear with general fly fishing information than a how-to guide about fly fishing.

Good Resource

[Tawn Gorbutt · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've read several books of this kind. This is the best I've found. The basics are clearly explained. Some attention is given to more advanced topics as well. Most importantly, the information given is correct and believable.

Great overall intro to fly fishing with all the basic info you need to understand about gear, reading a river, basic concepts of presentation. Great photos and written in an approachable style. Oriented primarily to those planning on fishing for various trout species.

This is my home library go-to standard reference work. I love the large illustrations and great photography. Rosenbauer is a leader in his field and Orvis makes great equipment.
