 Step into the thrilling, or even serene world of Dave and Lindsay Agness catching fish on the fly. From fish that eat a fly and can reach speeds up to 45 miles an hour like the False Albacore, to the shoulder rattling take of a giant Steelhead on a swung fly. Or the subtle take of a trout sipping a dry fly on the surface. This is a series of personal stories, experiences, how "to's" , on their quest to catch fish on a fly.
