It’s hard to believe that it’s been 30 years since the Catskill Fly Fishing Center cut the ribbon on what eventually would become the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum (CFFCM). In fact, as enjoyable as the recollections about the many contributors’ days on field and stream are, they don’t even come close to anything written by authors such Nick Karas, Ken Schultz, Nick Lyons or Catskill Region’s own Ed Van Put, whose Trout Fishing in the Catskills, chronicles the rich history of the Catskill Mountains and the rivers and streams that have been attracting fisher-folk from all over the world since the 1800s. Whether you’re fly-fishing, trolling, spinning, or surfcasting, a knot must hold well, be easy to remember, and help the lure or bait do what it was meant to do; and in that regard, The Complete Book of Knots, Leaders and Lines contains easy-to-follow expert instruction on how to tie dozens of highly-effective fishing knots. Thus the well-versed sweet or saltwater fisherman will want to understand the best way to tie such knots as the Improved Cinch Knot, the Blood Knot, the Arbor Knot, the popular and reliable Surgeon’s Knot, and such complex knots as the Bimini Twist, as well as many others. Philpott has provided a comprehensive and very clear instruction guide on how to tie a variety of useful saltwater and freshwater fishing knots and rigs, through a close-up view from the knot tier’s point of view. The Complete Book of Fishing Knots, Leaders and Lines also provides clear instructions for tying winning leaders, tips for selecting lines, and up-to-date information from the field that will bring you the quickest, slickest, and best catch ever. read more
