Hey guys:
It seems a millennium ago when I first took up the fly...some of us were fortunate to have mentors, others, in keeping with their meditative disposition, pursued the art with a focused tenacity and singularity.
Fact is I don't remember reading a book that served as a primer to angling on the fly...I quite indiscriminately ate up everything.
A friend has told me his father is retiring and wants to take up the fly; he wants to get him a primer that will serve as a solid foundation for his father's continued interest in fly fishing. I have a few ideas in mind...though it seems that a treatment of both "how to" mixed with lore would be best.
Suggestions would be welcome and appreciated.
