Though all fishing takes skill, fly-fishing is considered particularly challenging. The graceful method of casting employed can take years of experience to master. Making the artificial flies used in fly-fishing is an art in its own right, too. This volume introduces kids to the equipment and techniques used in fly-fishing. It also discusses the history of fly-fishing, the fly-fishing community, and the kinds of fish that are most often caught.

Rivers, lakes, streams, and ponds are all great places to spend a day fishing. This book offers an accessible introduction to the joys of freshwater fishing. Young readers will learn what kinds of fish live in freshwater. The volume explores some of the many methods used to catch these fish, from fly-fishing to noodling to basic angling. Readers will pick up handy fishing tips and enjoy looking at great photographs of fishermen in action.
