Sheridan Anderson has captured in 48 or so pages what other authors have attempted to write in 400 pages. There is a humor and energy that is communicated, in a comic-book format, which is infectious, and at the same time informative. Great for beginners and experienced anglers alike.
Comic book style paperback with lots of pictures and text that's easy to read. The author claims to be a angler, artist and eternal foe of the work ethic. Which is a bit oxymoronic because a book requires a lot of work. It's a good beginner fly fisher book.
One of the great books on Fly Fishing. Every Grand father (or Grand mother) worth their salt should have this book. Just leave it somewhere the grand kids know they shouldn't be looking. Soon after you'll be typing blood knots and casting for trout with the grand kids, while their parents are hung over. (See "Blood Knot" in Shots Fired: Stories from Joe Pickett Country)
