So You Want To Flyfish?
Flyfishing is no longer just for the pipe and tweed crowd. This explosion of flyrodding has hit a nostalgic nerve in middle-class baby boomers. But the sport is seeing all kinds taking up the longrod from blue-collar workers to senior citizens to kids to women. Want to know just how popular?
Mark D. Williams of Amarillo, TX
Williams is the author of twelve travel and outdoors books and is a recognized expert on trout fishing, flyfishing and travel around the world. His popular book, So Many Fish, So Little Time (Harper Collins, 2007) has been one of the best-selling fishing books the last few years and has received numerous rave reviews and awards.
Williams and McPhail have learned what works in teaching students over the years and have built a teaching philosophy, and not just for beginners. In flyfishing, a flyfisher never quits learning—a new know, a new cast, a new strategy. They both teach people from all walks of life, in the classroom and on the water. They tag-teach anglers at seminars at boat and flyfishing shows, at lectures at local flyshops and fishing clubs, at book signings / slide shows at national chain bookstores and at private guiding lessons on rivers or lakes. The authors reside in Amarillo, Texas.
