It covers all aspects of fly fishing: casting, proper equipment, tying flies, reading water, the feeding habits of fish, and the proper strategy for fishing a stretch of river. Also included in the book are traditional and historical flies along with a selection of Doug’s favorite patterns. Dressings and instructions are also presented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoug Stewart, a lifelong fly fisher, is also a fly-tying instructor and guide and a fly shop owner, and has written about fly-fishing for \u003ci\u003eThe Oregon Sportsman \u003c\/i\u003eand Amato Publications. Doug spent many years teaching customers how to fly fish during the thirty-two years he owned Stewart’s Fly Shop. “I think I get more out of teaching someone, out of seeing them be successful or catch their first fish, than I do out of catching my own,” Doug says.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pruett Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027537051888,"sku":"9780871083142","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780871083142_p0.jpg?v=1763838707","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780871083142","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
