If you are an aspiring fly fisherman, novice, expert or just interested, 
the  Fishing Compendium is the CD book for you.

As CD's have so much more room for information than bulky books, are 
easily read on your computer screen, display and define graphics that 
can be printed, allow for linking to informational sites on the web and 
are easily taken to the field with laptops, I decided to make the 
compendium on disk.
It cannot get wet, will survive more hazards than a book and will still 
be viewable.

This new medium allows for more options in a book, such as movies, 
direct connection to the internet, slide shows and allows a more 
complete information source.

This compendium has about 5000 pages of information and with successive 
upgrades will have thousands of fly patterns to tie.
The first section deals with fly fishing and all the hardware, fly 
casting, reading the water, understanding the fish (many different 
types) and even how to cook them.
There are links to sites that handle fly tying products, fly rods, 
boats, belly boats, motors and more.
There are over 2000 descriptive images, tables and informational 
diagrams to help you learn or use the information
The second section holds at present over 1000 fly patterns, each 
catalogued by type, insect, or species.
This by itself is worth the entire price of the the 2 disks. (49.99 CDN)
Just send me a note if you are interested and I will ship the disks, in 
return for a money order.
