Omoth, TylerFly Fishing for KidsCapstone Publishers  2013  32p  ISBN 978-1-4296-9902-0  series: Into the Great Outdoors  elem/ms  Hardback  VG-BN  Nonfiction

Omoth provides a comprehensive overview to the sport of fly fishing. This volume offers an attractive layout, liberal use of color photographs, and sidebars with tips and interesting facts to intrigue new anglers.  The text is thorough and ranges from the history of fishing through fish identification, selection of gear, casting, safety concerns, and conservation issues. 

The text is a little dry
and sometimes pedantic; however, the author’s passion for fly fishing is clear, and features such as a glossary, index, and lists of suggested websites and books for further exploration round out the volume and facilitate its use.

This is a solid addition to elementary, middle
-school, and public-library collections.

Summary: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the sport of fly fishing.
