In one minute, I share why you should absolutely own Sheridan Anderson’s 1978 book, The Curtis Creek Manifesto.

No other book shares all the necessary information about fly fishing in such an entertaining manner. Not only are the illustrations great fun, they are incredibly helpful. Additionally, the “necessary information” isn’t just what a fly rod is and what the most popular fly patterns are (or, were in 1978). Anderson understands fly fishing culture and communicates that important facet in the same breath as logistics.

Plus, he talks about conservation and how to cook trout.

Not only is this a great book for beginners of all ages, but it is a good way for experienced anglers to visualize and grasp the basics in a way that can be passed along.

Watch what else I have to say about the book, and find out where you can pick it up, below:

The Curtis Creek Manifesto pops up at fly shops and bookstores. And, as you may imagine, they have it here.
