I recommend this Fly and Vendor, especially for newbie's, who are having a rough time catching Steelhead. My only disappointment is that the fly is not available as a Barbless Hook. Pinching down the Barb with a pair of pliers is still not smooth enough for my liking.

Being a fan of movies as well as fly fishing, I have to say that I think the "Successful Fly Fishing Strategies" videos are excellent. They look terrific and are packed with lots of information that will come in very useful the next time I'm on the water. A technique of drawing lines and arrows on top of some of the scenes really helped me understand where fish are located and how I should position myself to fish to them. I really enjoyed the variety of fishing locations. I bought these videos, but now see that they are on one DVD and plan to give the DVD to a couple friends as holiday gifts.

This is my go to fly. Have had excellent luck with both panfish and large mouth bass. They tear it up. I've had my best luck with #16 & #18 tan or brown.

One of the best books on drift fly fishing and the importance of appropriate leader construction. Well worth the buy and read

My life-long fly-fisherman friend recommended this book when he learned that my 35-year-old son had taken up the sport. From his letter: "If you are looking for a birthday or Christmas gift for your son, I would heartily recommend "The L.L. Bean Ultimate Book of Fly Fishing" by Lord, Talleur and Whitlock.  Lord is best known for his casting and Talleur for his tying.  Whitlock does everything and is an excellent writer and artist. I give this book to beginning fly fishers." Grateful for the tip, I bought a copy for this Christmas.

As a newbie to Steelhead and Salmon drift fishing, I bought three reference guides including this book by Tim. One book I tossed out..to general...another has very nice color photographs and some good basics, but, Tims book has the details that I appreciated reading and highlighting for future quick referral. It is true, the beginning was somewhat disjointed, but, when you want to know the rigging, he puts it all together in an easy to follow read with good photo's and very good tips and pointers. Again, the detail is what I appreciated even though I plan to apply Tim's pointers to Fly fishing equipment. The book is spin fishing based, but can easily be crossed referenced to fly fishing. I will keep this book as my basic "go to" guide for a long time.

I'm new this year to euro style fishing but I went all in. Two euro rods, full on euro nymph flies, euro line and leader. This system is catching me more fish with a fly rod this summer then I have my entire life. It works. I like the approach George takes about, use the system that is going to catch you fish for the situation your in. I love the sighter system and the way he describes what to look for in the line is fairly easy to imagine and produce on the water.

The best fly fishing book I have ever read.  The depth of expertise and passion for the sport is evident throughout.  The way Todd weaves together his family history with a journey through the mountains is beautiful.  Amazing pictures to bring the whole thing together.

I like this book a lot after having less than satisfactory results with other books.  Very clear and good step by step instructions.  A must have book if you are just starting.  I have caught trout with some of these flies.

The Orvis Kid's Guide to Beginning Fly Fishing- A Review

The Orvis Kid's Guide to Beginning Fly Fishing, by Tyler Befus. Paperback, 84 pages, Sky Pony Press, 2016. $12.95.

When he was seven years old, Tyler Befus was a featured fly tyer at the Fly Fishing Show in Somerset, New Jersey. He was a very cute kid, bright and serious, yet with a good sense of humor. Even more extraordinary than his fly tying, he had just finished his first book, which was at the publishers at the time. It was the original edition of the Kid's Guide to Beginning Fly Fishing.

In the preface of this new edition, Tyler writes, "I hoped to excite other youth- and even their parents or other beginners- about fly fishing and to show that this sport has something that will interest almost all people." In the ten years since the publication of the original, Tyler has gotten a lot more fly fishing under his belt. He was very fortunate to be the son of the marketing director of Ross Reels. His dad knew almost everyone who was anyone in the world of fly fishing, and Tyler learned from most of them.

Since Tyler was fly-fishing almost before he was out of diapers, and since he has such an outstanding pedigree, he was more than qualified to write this book. What I especially liked about it, in addition to the large type (I could read it without my glasses!) is that Tyler shows a depth and breadth of knowledge while explaining complex fly fishing concepts in simple terms anyone, including children, can understand. It's well written, but it ain't stuffy, folks!

Eight chapters cover What is Fly Fishing, the fish you can catch with a fly rod, how to find fish, the gear used, the methods used, how to imitate what fish eat, Fly Fishing is More Than Catching Fish (a tremendous insight and a brilliant thing to include), and how to make fly fishing whatever you want it to be. He explains fly fishing terminology as simply as possible, and includes plenty of interesting personal anecdotes.

Color photos, pencil drawings, pen and ink drawings, and Tyler's own artwork illustrate the pages.

Tyler wrote his book with children in mind, but anyone who wants to get started in fly fishing would find it an invaluable, easily understood introduction to the sport. It's a fantastic little book for both children and adults, and gets this reporter's highest recommendation.

Excellent reference for tying fishing flies popular in Alaska. One of a kind.  I have bought several to give to new fly tying students.

Worked well on the Tom Joyner cruise those who know anout this cruise will understand). I'll be fly fishing for the Marble trout in Slovenia in July and elk hunting in Colorado in the fall. I expect they'll work well for my purposes.

Of all the beginning fly fishing books I own or have read, I like this one the best. I find that most all of my questions are answered in this book and still refer back to it when I forget something. I first owned the 3rd edition and the 4th has been updated with gear and methods not available in the earlier editions. If you are just getting started, this is not a bad place to begin.
