The numbers exceed either recreational amateur golfers (25 million) or tennis players (22.4 million) in America combined. The sport of flyfishing was born in England and remains incredibly popular in Europe and now increasingly across the globe including places like Russia, South Africa, Belize, Costa Rica, Japan, New Zealand and Australia—even further expanding the potential reach of flyfishing.So You Want to Flyfish is a how-to book written in a conversational style, complete with brief anecdotes, clear instructions, insider tips and secrets of how to get on the water quickly without weeks and months of practice.

Anyone planning a fishing trip to beautiful southern Colorado needs this book to locate the best fly-fishing streams. Most guidebooks focus on large, well-known drainages. Williams and McPhail identify many locations not included in other books. They also recommend appropriate flies for each stream in entries that bring out the unique character of every fishing spot. In alphabetical order, the authors describe fishing waters from the Animas River to Willow Creek. They have intentionally omitted some lesser-known highcountry streams to avoid traffic and overfishing. They have also been selective in assigning flies, picking patterns that have worked for them rather than the obvious ones that local fly shops might recommend.
