Of all the fly fishing and Montana books one can purchase, few books are more helpful than a good book on fly fishing technique. Without good fly fishing technique, an angler, no matter how much they know about a particular river or its hatches, has little chance of having a successful fly fishing trip for large trout in Montana. Picking up a book on fly fishing technique, along with lots of practice, is still the best way for an angler to insure they catch fish when visiting Montana.

Longer Fly Casting
     by Lefty Kreh
Book Description from Amazon.Com
All fly fishermen want to be able to cast ten feet - or more - farther. The trout, tarpon, permit, or bass always seem at least that distance from one's best cast, and there is no adequate solution other than learning to make a longer cast.
This little handbook will help any fly fisherman - beginner to near-expert - to refine his fly-casting technique: to double-haul with more accuracy and authority and for greater distance; to cast better from boats, into the wind, when there are obstructions; to roll cast farther; to prepare one's equipment properly for longer casts.

Presenting the Fly
Presenting the Fly
     by Lefty Kreh

Book Description from Amazon.Com
A fly-fishing master teaches the intricate art of properly presenting a fly. Nothing is more important in fly fishing than successfully presenting the fly. No matter what rod, reel, line, and fly are used, the fish will not take if the fly is presented with a splash or out of target. In this comprehensive book, Lefty Kreh explains that the art of presentation is much more than dropping the fly in the best position--it also involves the clothes you wear, the methods you use to rig your tackle, how and where you approach the fish, the types of fly lines and reels you use, the direction of the light, the type of cover, and the retrieval method used, among other factors. Lefty delves into each of these subjects with his usual knowledgeable vigor. Lefty also describes the different methods of presentation for the various species of fish-- from trout and other freshwater species to fish that inhabit backcountry and inshore waters to exciting saltwater species like permit and even sharks.
