Bass on the Fly

The majority of America's freshwater anglers fish for bass with spinning or casting rods and some kind of hardware: plugs, spinnerbaits, plastic worms. But A. D. Livingston says that, in many situations, the best way to take bass is with the fly rod. And despite fly fishing's reputation as an expensive, elitist sport, taking bass on the fly can be by far the least expensive way to go. An adequate rod, reel, line, and flies can be bought for less than the cost of a summer's supply of spinning or casting lures. And A. D.'s simplified techniques can have readers catching fish in just a few hours. Here is the best book yet on taking America's most popular gamefish on the fly rod, beautifully illustrated by Bassmaster Magazine's Chris Armstrong.
