Fish Like A Guide

The folks over at Kype Magazine recently sent me a copy of George Douglas' new book Fish Like A Guide.  George is the publisher of Kype Magazine.  Kype is a quarterly magazine with distribution throughout the USA and Canada. You'll find it on the news-stands of major book stores and other retail outlets, including sport and fly shops across the country.

I look forward to spending some time with this book over the next few weeks.  George shares his insight as a guide to make you a better fisherman.  From my own experience a good guide can take years off the learning curve for novice fisherman.  Even now with over 35 years of fly fishing experience, I still learn something every time I fish with a good guide.

As I stated earlier I just received the book but I'll come back to it when I'm finished and give everyone a full report.  In the meantime if you would like to check a copy for yourself you can find it here.

I am on the hunt for this one...

This looks to be an excellent reference for Czech/Slovak fly patterns.  Only problem is I can't find it offered by any US based book dealers.  The exchange rate right now to buy it overseas puts it out of range.  I have read a few reviews on the book and it looks promising.  I am sold on the effectiveness of these techniques and flies.  It also appears to include some streamers and dry fly patterns as well.  I will be keeping my eye out for this book, hopefully it will show up in the states soon.  If anyone knows of a good source for this book drop me a line...
