• Basic skills, from stringing your fly rod to tying on backing, fly line, leader, and tippet
• How to make casts for a variety of stream and lake conditions
• How to figure out what fish are feeding on, and then picking the proper imitation
• How to determine where fish are in lake or river
• Tips on using dry flies, nymphs, streamers, and caddis imitations
