"Fishing The Film", A New Gary Borger Book

[kglissmeyer]

Silver, can't wait to get a copy. Several years ago Gary spent some time with my wife at a Utah Sportsmen's Expo where he taught her the three-point grip and it changed her casting abilities for the better. I purchased the "Presentation" book for my father-in-law several years ago and finally got a copy for myself at my local thrift store for $2 bucks just over a month ago (valued at over $100).

You got a bargain on Presentation, as you well know.

I tell Gary every few months that he should republish Presentation. Instead, he decided to expand it to a 20 volume fly fishing encyclopedia. Fishing the Film is the first volume. It contains a section on the casts needed to fish the film and casting and the 3 point grip are described. There will be two later volumes just on casting, the first titiled The Perfect Cast

His next volume will be Reading The Waters. I've proof read that manuscript as well. The third volume will be titled Long Flies and will be about streamers and streamer fishing.

I'm delighted to hear he is going to do the series - not that fly fishing needs a 20 volume set - but he is a wonderful writer who gets his message across to the reader. That is a problem with much of what is currently in print, it isn't helping anyone but the writer who hopefully got paid for the book. We would love to review it here as well, we have a bit of a reputation for doing excellent, fair reviews just in case anyone is listening.
I also have my autographed copy of Presentation which I reviewed in detail here as well.

Gary has such staying power! At the Great Waters Expos these past few years, he's drawn huge crowds and it's easy to see why. He masterful with both the written and demonstrated word. Here in Maine, my little 12 year olds in the middle school fly fishing club have discovered his old VHS videos, and are glued to the screen.

Looking forward to the books.
