Fly fishing is not an easy sport, and requires lots of knowledge and preparation. Serious fly fishermen and women understand everything from the type of fly required for di fferent regions to the perfect techniques for casting, but for the rest of us a lot of knowledge really will go a long way to increasing the enjoyment the sport can bring.This app describes itself as the ‘ultimate’ guide, and there is little doubt that the areas covered are as varied and complete as most people will require. Videos are included which are designed to help people master the perfect techniques, and these can be used alongside newly found knowledge on the type of fly required for speci fic seasons, regions or hook sizes. All information is supplemented with images and detailed text so that you will understand everything you need to know, and there are even fishing reports available for more than 200 destinations in North America.
Throw in access to more than 100 fly fishing podcasts, and you start to see just how completely the subject is covered. The interface is logically laid out and easy to navigate, but could bene t from a more professional approach. The images don’t always flow as well as we would like within the wider presentation, but this is a small niggle for an app that o ffers a huge wealth of detailed information that will be exceptionally useful to anyone with a keen interest in the subject matter. If you need to purchase equipment, the in-app store o ffers everything from clothing and rods to accessories.
