Fly Fishing Book Review Videos

There is something pleasant about creating new media highlighting old media. And that is precisely what I am doing with my latest project on Casting Across: fly fishing book reviews on YouTube.

With five videos up at the time of writing and a few more in the can, this series seeks to show off some good angling books. New and old releases are being featured. The diverse subject matter spans everything from literature to guidebooks to history. This format also allows me to insert some of my experiences with the books and, in some cases, the connections that the books themselves helped form in my pursuit of fish. Along with simply sharing books I enjoy, my intention is to introduce people to titles they  either haven’t heard of or those they forgot they read decades ago.

In the nearly ten years of content on Casting Across, I’ve consistently encouraged anyone I can to familiarize themselves with the rich literary tradition in fly fishing and consider how curating a library is a rewarding aspect of angling. My goal with this video series is to continue moving that goal forwards with a new format and a wider audience. If you have ideas for more books, there’s a link to share that below. If you know a fly fisher who enjoys reading, please pass the links along.

Want more book recommendations? Here is the Casting Across Fly Fishing Library. Each image brings up additional content. For some, it is a brief paragraph synopsis; others are full reviews or conversations with the author.

One of the most helpful aspects of my reading while writing has been recommendations from the Casting Across audience. Have a book that you think I should read? Let me know here.
