His years of world-class experienceas fisherman, writer, artist, and instructorhave earned him the respect and affection of anglers everywhere.

Beginners and seasoned fly anglers alike will find something useful here, from tips on reading the water to tying flies to recognizing rise forms. Its the next best thing to a one-on-one lesson with Dave himself, and the results are simple: youll catch more fish.
