About this app

Everything you wanted to know about fly fishing - but didn't know who to ask! Where, when and how to wet your fly. Why the fish do what they do and how you can take advantage. With articles, pictures, diagrams, image galleries, videos and maps this is the only teaching aid and reference source on fly fishing you will ever need! Rods, reels, lines, leaders, knots, accessories, bank fishing, boat fishing, casting, fly tying - it's all here!

It took five years to write and present this work and now I offer it free so you can share all the tips and tricks I learned - tips and tricks which put fish in my bag and trophies on my shelf. This is NOT a game or a toy! But if you are serious about your fly fishing this is the app for you! Download it - explore it - share it with your friends. I guarantee you will find information in here which will leave you saying "I never thought of that"!

Most people get out fly fishing once or twice a month if they are lucky and never have the time to discover the techniques I perfected over the years. This app will give you the edge and save you hours of frustration. After all, fly fishing’s meant to be fun... remember? I spent a lot of time and effort trying out different ideas so now you don't need to. I'll tell you how to recognize the best method for a particular time, season and weather conditions.

There are galleries of flies - so you can see what it looks like when someone mentions a fly you haven't heard of before. There's a section to introduce you to fly tying and dressing - and I'll show you the only three flies you're ever likely to need. I developed them from other patterns and can honestly say that I caught many, many fish using them. I couldn't buy these flies in the shops at the time so I developed some easy ways to tie them for myself and I'll show you how to do that quickly and easily. I even got into the habit of tying up a few flies over a cup of coffee just before I went fishing. That's how easy they are!

There are maps for major fly fishing countries containing a wealth of information about their fly fishing locations, including a picture of each site and important details such as names, addresses, telephone numbers and relevant websites. The information on these maps is constantly being updated to give you a great reference source for your next fly fishing adventure!

There's even a section of recipes to help you work out what to do with your fish when you've caught it - everything from a quick snack to a formal dinner!

And if you do find this App helpful please leave a comment to help others make up their minds! Tight Lines!

I cannot imagine the amount of work it would take to compile such a vast amount of information and experience into one simple and easy to navigate app. Not too much information to confuse the novice and not too little to allow the experienced angler the opportunity to have an easily referenced guide to check with periodically. Many thanks to the developer for their effort. This is an invaluable resource no matter the region you live in or experience level.

I thought I might like fly fishing, but as a man in rural Texas who doesn't know anyone who fly fishes, I was intimidated by the entry price, terminology and learning curve. Many fly fishing Video channels are informative but lack the depth available in text format, this book has EXCELLENT TEXT AND VIDEO for understanding, and not only gives you an EXPLANATION OF WHAT fly fishing is but WHY things are done the way that they are and for how long they've been working. Fish get ready, here I come.
