Fly Fishing for Kids

Looking for Christmas gift ideas for your young anglers? Check out this book, "Kid's Guide to Fly Fishing". It was written by an eight year old kid named Tyler Befus.

The book contains information about fish (what they eat, where they live, etc.) and how to catch them. There's even casting tips for kids. Tyler also included his own illustrations.

Tyler is the son of famous fly fisherman, Brad Befus. So Tyler (now 9 years old), started fly fishing when he was three years old (remember that the next time you tell yourself you couldn't possibly fly fish)! Living in Colorado, he's had plenty of great fly fishing experience. Tyler even hols the junior IGFA world records for sheefish and kokanee salmon.

In an effort to educate other kids and stir up interest in fly fishing, Tyler speaks at several youth fishing events throughout the year.

Tyler is very passionate about fly fishing and wants to get other kids interested in it. He's also co-written another book with his dad called, "Basic Techniques for Successful Fly Tying" and is now working on a kid's instructional DVD.

What better way to help a kid learn fly fishing than by another kid?! These books would make great Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers!
