Pay particular attention to the three chapters on:• reading a stream• matching the hatch• and how to fish each of the types of flies.Those three chapters are the heart of fly fishing after you have bought your equipment and learned how to cast – two other chapters in this ebook.Then finally we wrap it up by discussing both sides of the catch and release issue – and when it makes sense to keep trout regardless of which side you are on.
