The Fly Fisher's Book of Lists: Life is short. Catch more fish.

So should the time it takes to improve your fly fishing game.

"The Fly Fisher's Book of Lists" is a book of bite-sized snacks. It's an entire book of lists. Lists include:

"The 7 Basic Facts about Mayflies";
"The 7 Nagging Questions of Nymph Fishing";
"3 Tips When Fishing Streamers on Smaller Creeks"; and, among dozens of others,
"11 Reasons You're Not Catching Fish."

This light-hearted-yet-practical book is like a bag of potato chips. You reach in and grab a handful. And then another. And then another. You won't put the book down until you've consumed perhaps 2,000 calories.

Newbie fly fishers will find answers to some of their frustrations in learning the sport. Veteran fly fishers may discover a new fly fishing hack or insight to help improve their craft. At the very least, they'll appreciate the list of great places to eat in the Bozeman, Montana, area on their next fly fishing trip.

Ultimately, the book makes a wonderful Mother's Day or Father's Day gift. Or the perfect present for the person who has always wanted to try fly fishing.
