"This
is, by far, the best flyfishing book for young folks
that we've encountered.
With wonderful simplicity, a sweet story, great photos
and fun graphics, Ms. Lucas reveals the 'essence' of
flyfishing so well that we have given it to many of
our 'adult' flyfishing students and friends. They always
look up at the end and say "oh, yes... that's really
what it's all about." We recommend this book highly
to all ages and stages of flyfishers, and especially
to those young ones in your life." |

"Fly-Fishing
with Trout-Tail is a magical, wonderful look at fly-fishing
from the eyes of a child. It is filled with absolutely
beautiful pictures and a story to go with them. Kim,
through her vision, has created a literary work of art,
certainly one that belongs in the library of every child
and everyone with children. I was touched by each page
and gave a copy of this book to Mariah, my very special
little girl, who not only enjoyed it but also came to
me and asked me if I could take her fly-fishing."

“Fly-Fishing
with Trout-tail has captured the essence of fly fishing
for kids and adults -- the wonder of discovery, the
joy of angling, and time spent on the water alone and
with others. The pictures are excellent with vibrant
colors and really tell a story of their own. It is an
excellent book about kids and fly fishing. My kids and
I really enjoyed it.” |

the 'circle song'!"
"Fly-Fishing
with Trout-tail should accompany every first fly-rod!" |
