Hi All,
I'm looking for a little help. I would like to get my dad a book on fly fishing, to go with his Christmas present. I haven't read as much as I would've liked to, I tend to be a trial and error guy. My father on the other hand seems to enjoy reading about it as much as doing it. I was wondering if any of you could recommend a good book.
My dad has been throwing a fly for about 6 or seven years now. He doesn't get out a whole lot, but when he does, he sticks to dries mainly.
I was thinking about getting a book on nymphing. Have any of you read one or more of the "aggressive strategies" books by Rich Osthoff, or the "Larger Trout" books by Charles Brooks, or perhaps any of the Orvis Guidebooks by Tom Rosenbauer? Or, is there a better book on the subject? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
