Recommended Fly Fishing Books
I love to read. These are some of my favorite fly fishing books.
A River Runs Through It
If I could only recommend one book to read about fly fishing, this would be it. It’s not a how to book, but it is a classic that’s story explains what makes fly fishing special. It’s hard to read and not want to go fish. I’ve read it at least four times, and it has influenced the way I approach my own writing as well. The movie is a clasic too. My parents took my brother and I to see it in theaters when it came out on Thanksgiving Day.
The History of Fly Fishing in Fifty Flies
This book was a gift from my kids. It’s an interesting and helpful way to learn about the history of fly fishing. It’s amazing how many familiar themes shine through today. It reveals patterns in fly tying and in the fly fishing community.
