The Better Fly Fisher

Fly fishing is a gentle art.

Like other art forms, getting started is difficult and it takes time, hard work and energy to become proficient. As well as technical skill, experts understand fish behaviour, their life cycles and the biology of the rivers, lakes and marine environments they inhabit. Every outing is another lesson.

The greatest joy of fly fishing is that it is a never-ending journey. There is always a new water to visit, new technique to try and a bigger fish to fool.

Perhaps most important of all, age is not a barrier to the artistry of the fly fisher. Experience fuels the next adventure.

The purpose of this new book is to encourage all fly fishers to continue their personal journey. It provides wise advice and guidance to point the way.

The book (ISBN 9780719846281) was published on 8th May. It is available from www.crowood.com/book/better-fly-fisher.

It will be for sale on Amazon soon.

Allan’s book is a Practical Handbook for Skill, Strategy and success on the Water.

In The Better Fly Fisher, coach and lifelong angler Allan Sefton shares decades of hands-on experience from fishing rivers, reservoirs and coastal waters across the UK and beyond. Drawing on a deep understanding of fish ecology and teaching others to catch them, you’ll find thoughtful guidance for becoming a more effective and adaptable angler, whether you’re chasing trout in tiny streams, salmon on Highland rivers or bonefish on tropical coral flats.
