Curtis Creek Manifesto
  
Sheridan Anderson, self-described "foe of the work ethic," has put together an illustrated guide to "the art of fly fishing on moving water" that one must see to fully appreciate. There is much wisdom in this introduction to a difficult sport, all presented in a large cartoon format. Like William Nealy's Kayak, Anderson takes advantage of his multimedia approach to explain aspects of fly-fishing, through both words and drawings, that might otherwise be lost on the neophyte. All this is conveyed with a good sense of humor, something beginning fly-fishers need in abundance.

(Hide Review...)  The best book on the topic
Reviewer Permalink
I live in Bishop, CA which is a flyfishers paradise. This book made flyfishing simple, easy to understand and is the best single work on the topic ever written. I say that while adimiting that I was a friend of the late, great Sheridan Mullholland Andreas Anderson and I miss him. Don't miss this book. I have just ordered a copy for a flyfisher beginer.

I am a newbie at the sport and bought this after seeing it highly recommended on several group discussions. But I was disappointed. The book is very short. It is written in comic book style. I don't have a problem with this, but I thought it was limiting.

Unless you are a extreme newbie, I can't recommend it. And if you are, go with LL Bean's book by Dave Whitlock.

Sheridan Anderson's clasic book is so filled with wisdom and humor it simply removes much of the "mystery" from the sport of fly fishing for newcomers.

I have been a fly fisherman for over 50 years. I have taught dozens of family and friends to fly fish. And that's why I've given away more than 20 copies of Curtis Creek Manifesto to my "students."

Learning to do any new activity, often the best approach is done with humor and clear directions. This cartoon-like book is no exception to this - and for the several people I have taught the basics of fly-fishing to, this one simple instruction manual has seemed to fit the bill the best. It presents the basics in with clear, concise and illustrated instructions and steps. I definitely recommend this book as a supplementary text to anyone wishing to learn or teach basic beginning fly-fishing techniques.
