Dear Reader,

This book makes me laugh out loud evey time I open it. Ohman uncovers many realities of the sport, dealing with topics such as:
(1) the four true personality profiles of fly fishing guides,
(2) the kid who outfishes you, using a hula popper and a muskie-sized bobber, and
(3) the terrible trials of fly tying, and
(4) a parody of Izaak Walton's The Complete Angler ("...let's clear this up once and for all: He used worms.")

There are a lot of humorous fishing books that poke fun at the sport....but this is the best one I know. I often bring this book with me on camping trips as it forever makes me and my fishing buddies laugh. Very witty and it does not get old. FUN!
