"A Kid's Guide to Fly Fishing" Written by Nine-Year-Old

Tyler Befus’s new book, A Kid’s Guide to Fly Fishing (Johnson Books, 95 pages, illustrated by the author), is just one of many fly fishing projects the precocious young fly fisher is involved in these days. Besides being the youngest member of Whiting Farms, Rio Products, and Ross Reels pro staff teams, he’s creating DVDs and contributing to television series. “‘I really like fly-fishing and I think others should too,’ he said. “’t’s a lot cooler than watching TV. And kids that do that, I want them to get off the couch and go outdoors and learn about bugs, nature and spend time with their family.’” Kati O’Hare in the Montrose [Colorado] Daily Press.
Tyler Befus comes from good stock, as they say. HIs dad, Brad Befus, sales manager for Ross Reels, is also co-author of Basic Techniques for Successful Fly Tying and Carp on the Fly.
