Of the many primers meant for beginning and intermediate fly-fishers, Tom Rosenbauers is the best I knowa comprehensive guide for all species and all waters from the trout stream to the bonefish flats, from the bass pond to the salmon river, from selecting tackle to caring for it, repairing it, and deftly deploying it in almost every conceivable situation. The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide is the right entry point for new fly fishers, and a trusted path for experienced fly fishers looking to expand their horizons.
James R. Babb, Editor
Grays Sporting Journal
There is a bunch of fly-fishing guides out there, but none of them benefits from the depth and breadth of knowledge that Tom Rosenbauer brings to this revision of his classic book. Toms not just a fine angler, but a great teacher, as well, and the central argument of this book is that fly fishing is not as difficult as many people believe. Toms concise writing and Bob Whites clear illustrations make it even easier. Whether you are a beginner looking to catch your first fish on a fly or an intermediate angler looking to become an expert, this book is an invaluable resource.
Phil Monahan, Editor
American Angler
Tom Rosenbauers wholly revised Orvis Fly Fishing Guide is the most comprehensive, and best, introduction to fly fishing that I have seen. All aspects of our sport are explained with clear, common-sense explanations. It makes understandable what often seems arcane and frustrating for most beginning and intermediate anglers.
John Randolph, Editor
Fly Fisherman
The ultimate reference book for fly fishers of all stripes. Tom Rosenbauers clear and contemporary answers to fly fishings knottiest problems give all anglers a refreshingly open path to success on the water.
John Merwin, Fishing Editor
Field & Stream
This is simply the best, most comprehensive, most understandable book for newcomers to our sport that Ive ever seen. It also belongs in the reference library of experienced fly fishers who need a quick education about a fish species or a technique they havent used before.
Howell Raines
Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist and author of The One that Got Away and Fly Fishing Through the Midlife Crisis.
A splendid guide including everything an angler needs.

Thanks to all my friends and coworkers at The Orvis Company. Its a wonderful opportunity to be able to work with people who share the same passions.
And finally, to my wife, Robin, and children, Brett and Brooke, thanks for being so patient with my late nights sequestered in my study.
I wrote the original Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide in 1983, and this much revised and updated edition in 2006, to be the book I would have wanted to read when I first tried fly fishing in the late 1960s and very much needed a good guidebook. In the nearly forty years that Ive been involved in the fly-fishing business, Ive always listened carefully to novices, both in my years as a fly-fishing instructor and afterward. And Ive studied how-to books on photography, cross-country skiing, kayaking, and even books on macroeconomics or foreign policy, for ideas on how to present a complex process to the uninitiated. When I find someone who can explain in an elegant way a topic unfamiliar to me, Ill go back and study his or her approach again and again. So if youre new to fly fishing, Ive been thinking of you. I want this book to be your reliable reference for at least your first few years, and, hopefully, longer.
I wrote The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide to fill the real and specific needs of anglers. This book presents a starting point for the soon-to-be fly fisher and serves the reasonably proficient fly fisher as a reference. (Even quite capable anglers may need a refresher course on some specialized aspect of fly fishing, such as saltwater knots, the how-to care for waders, or how to fish a dry fly in tricky currents.) I have tried to offer a balanced view of all the various elements and kinds of fly fishingincluding tackle selection, casting, flies, presentation, tactics, and a host of other subjects, for all the major gamefish in both fresh and salt water.
