Trout Unlimited Canada’s Niagara Chapter has just released a book entitled, Introducing Fly Fishing by Brian Green as a fundraiser for their conservation work.
“Everything I wish I had known when I started out with fly fishing but had to learn myself over several frustrating years.” This is how Brian Green, the author of a little book called Introducing Fly Fishing describes his book. The small volume, just released in December, covers the essentials of fly fishing with none of the confusing detail that can make our sport seem like a mysterious cult to novices.
Green is a professional author whose textbooks on writing and journalism are in use at colleges and universities across Canada, and also the secretary of the Niagara Chapter of TUC. He wrote the book as a fundraiser for the Chapter, with all profits going to the Chapter’s restoration efforts in Niagara’s Twelve Mile Creek. But, he says, he also wanted to have a short, easy to read, pocket-sized book that would give people new to the sport a beginning point on the techniques, equipment, and terminology that can be intimidating. The Niagara Chapter gives one of the books to each of the participants in its Healing Waters Program for injured Canadian Forces personnel, and to each new member of the Chapter.
The book is available through the Niagara Chapter for $10 plus postage. Brian’s book would make a great gift for the fly fisher on your holiday shopping list.
