Nothing is as important in fly fishing than successfully presenting the fly. No matter what rod, reel, line, and fly are used, the fish will not take if the fly is presented with a splash or out of target. In this comprehensive book on the art of presentation, Lefty Kreh explains that presentation is much more than dropping the fly in the best position -- it also involves the clothes you wear, the methods you use to rig your tackle, how and where you approach the fish, the types of fly lines and reels you use, the direction of the light, the type of cover, and the retrieve method used, among other factors. Lefty delves into each of these subjects with his usual knowledgeable vigor.
