I am the Head Guide for River of Life Farm on North Fork of the White River in extreme southern Missouri. I also guide on Bryant Creek for smallmouth, the famed White River, AR, and Dry Run Creek below Norfork dam for kids. I row a Clacka therefor I am. On grass I cast for distance, not stamina. I think the olympic ribbon twirlers would make awesome single-handed Spey Casters. I don't guffaw at competitive fly fishing. I am not a silent fly fisherman. I am a founding father of the Ozark Dead Drifters Society. My 7 year old and 5 year old boys can out-fish me....but I am catching up.

I'm finally retiring back to the NW after many years. My brother, an expert fly fisherman by any criteria (fishes every trophy stream in the U.S. -- his bad day is < 25 fish 16" - 20" or none over 20+ inches w/ pictures to prove it), has talked me into fly fishing after 40 years. My professional pilot discipline drives me to a manual to get all basics and techniques deeply ingrained before taking stick or fly rod in hand. I looked at every book on DigitalTags.net before buying this one and a couple others. I immediately fell in love with this book and have been through it several times. I was impressed with Chris Hansen's mastery of the subject and his ability to communicate its full range from thinking about fly fishing to cleaning your gear after an outing. I asked my brother (other fisherman literally stop fishing to watch him catch fish) to critique it to see if I'd been fooled. He thought the content was as well written and comprehensive as I did. He said it was all anyone needed to become a happy, successful fly fisherman (assuming they fish where the fish are!) to the intermediate level. We both considered the illustrations and pictures superb. It's perfect for me . . . I suspect for you too. Thanks to this book, I'm doing well on my local park lake and looking forward to my first real fishing in Montana next year. I'm ready with the right gear and basics learned. I'm confident and highly motivated . . . now show me the fish. I extend my special thanks to Billy at DigitalTags.net. Buy this book and you won't be disappointed.
Great site and good job teaching your boys to fish. I have a couple young flyfisher girls (Grandaughters) myself ages 7&9. Talk about great fishing partners.
