Tactical Fly Fishing Lessons Learned from Competition for All Anglers Devin Olsen 9780811719827 Books Reviews
- I've been fly fishing close to 60 years, but I'm new to euro-nymphing and bought the book mainly for further information on this approach. I have to say that while it is a great reference for euro-nymphing I was surprised to find it also packed with lots of excellent information on trout behavior, reading water, seasonal considerations, and mixing euro-nymphing with dry-dropper and suspension techniques. I own both the DVD's on euro-nymphing by Devin Olsen and Lance Egan and this book was a great compliment to that material. Apparently you in fact "can teach an old dog new tricks" if your style is interesting, engaging and informative. Great book!
- This is a very useful book with great insights afforded by the author's long history of fly fishing, former job as a fisheries biologist, and a dozen years learning and distilling lessons through the lens of competition. As mentioned in the book, whether or not you like the idea of fly fishing competitions, they have produced new tools for the everyday fly fisher who is interested in actually catching some fish. I like the case by case explanation of fly fishing solutions to each river feature and the utilitarian fly recipes section. A major feature of the book is an extensive set of photographs intermixed with very useful drawings. The drawings are excellent. The photos were fun to see but they were hit or miss in conveying useful info. The "hits" were labelled with lines or letters to pinpoint zones and specific locations, but I would have liked to see a font or color of letter that stood out better. Photos that "missed" contained no letters or lines and/or urged in the caption to look closely to find a feature that really could not be seen clearly. Or owing to the mottled background and generally dark rendering of the photos, the rod and/or line could not be seen to be doing what was explained in the caption. Other than the photo misses, I really liked the book and look forward to more books and videos from Devin in the future.
- This book provides and in depth, updated perspective on fly fishing using the techniques that world competitive fly fishermen use. It not only covers the techniques perfected in world class events, but helps you understand how to approach the river, how to fish places you would normally walk by, and chapter by chapter guidelines on the various types of water (runs, riffles, flats, etc). One of the best and most useful fly fishing manuals you will read.
- Interesting book, well written with good photography work throughout. This would be a good book for people wanting to get a better idea of nymphing in general, with aspects of Euro nymphing. However, for an advanced fisherman, this book is a lot of “redo†although there are a few pearls distributed throughout. Altogether- a very nice book well done by the author.
- I've learned a lot from tactical fly fishing and the modern nymphing videos. When I saw this book was out I bought it immediately and it didn't disappoint. Along with George Daniel's book it should be on every fisherman's shelf.
- Just received Tactical Fly Fishing and, after reading 34 pages, I can safely say it’s among the top three fly fishing books I’ve seen... and I’ve read many books on fly fishing. If you fly fish trout in rivers, this is a “must haveâ€.
- I'm not about competitive fishing, but I do like to catch fish. This book is filled with advice on how to do that, from reading water to where and how to fish that water...and I say that having read only the first half of the book so far. That's it for now...time to get back to reading about tactical fly fishing!!
- Devin has written an excellent book to teach fly fishermen the fundamentals and tactics of euro nymphing. These techniques will help you to catch more fish.
