and more people are using this method to catch trout, bluegill, sailfish, and other varieties of fish.
You can count yourself among them with the help of this book. It just takes the right equipment,
a little bit of know-how, and some practice. If you’ve never tried because you heard it’s “too
hard,” then you are missing out. In Thrasher’s Fly Fishing Guide (June 2020, Menasha Ridge
Press), professional fly fisher Susan Thrasher provides the information needed to get you on the
water and fly fishing with success.
Susan begins with the basics, introducing terminology and recommending equipment to get you
going. She delves into various techniques and further touches upon everything from taking a
guided trip to winter fishing. Along the way, she includes personal stories and anecdotes sure to
entertain and encourage. As you continue further into this essential guide, you’ll gain more
advanced knowledge, such as how to select the best fly line and fly rod for different fishing
situations, how to identify the fish that you catch, and even proper etiquette while fishing.
Whether you’ve never hooked a fish or have spent your whole life casting a fly to that elusive
brown trout, Thrasher’s Fly Fishing Guide is your all-in-one resource. You’ll enjoy Susan’s
engaging writing style, and you’ll appreciate her step-by-step approach that can take you from
