Just when the sport of fly-fishing had gotten a little too serious for its own felt-soled boots, Alan Pratt wades into the middle of it all to produce his first and last book--a hilarious look at an avocation brimming with humor, much of it unintentional. But if you"ve ever silently observed a determined angler doing the retrieve-the-fly-in-the-overhead-bushes dance--and most likely you know those same steps well yourself--then you know how funny fly-fishing can be. With this good-humored attitude, Pratt introduces a potentially intimidating sport to the uninitiated, covering all the basics and much more.
