Reviews:
-- I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. Now that I have read it, I can truly say that it didn't disappoint. The writing is pure Lefty Kreh - Straight forward, understandable instruction on how to catch more and bigger bass with a fly rod.

This book is not directed at novice fly fishers. Little space in this little book is devoted to teaching you how to tie knots or flies and the author assumes that you already know how to make the basic casts.

The author simply tells you what rods and reels to choose, what lines, leaders and flies to use in a specific situation and how to fish them. If you do as he suggests, you will get satisfying results. Far from a dry "how to" book, this is a distillation of practical lessons learned over a lifetime of studying and pursuing the subject species.

I wish a text like this had been available decades ago when I began to appreciate the challenges and rewards of warmwater fly fishing. It could have saved me a lot of wasted time and money. Since reading this book, I am catching more bass, more consistently than ever before.

Reviews:
-- The line paid out smoothly through the guides, pulling the leader and fly forward to settle gently on the pond. Moments later the three pounds of large mouth bass had his breakfast and the fisherman a good morning tug of war. Scenes like this one come to mind as would be fly fisherman read L.L.

Reviews:
-- Truly an amazing book. Features easy to follow modern and traditional techniques and tactics. Even covers tournament tips. Great guide for equipment selection and usage and perhaps the best element of the book is the analysis of where to find ... under various weather conditions.

Review:
-- It is difficult to describe how much higher Crappie Wisdom (as well as the other In-Fisherman titles) stands compared to other fishing books I've read. The practical, scientific approach to angling presented here cannot help but make a better fisherman of anyone who reads it. A "thinking man's" sports book.
