Not sure "Presentations" is still available but it may be the most
comprehensive modern "primer" on Fly Fishing. Covers most
everything and does it well.

ASIDE: I have problems with Borger's ego .... his book is full of
"After I invented fly fishing, I invented leaders and then I invented
ALL the techniques and, so, I invented wading boots ... then me and
MY buds went out and caught tons of fish that NOBODY else could
catch" Without those numerous episodes of "look how good I am,"
imho, "Presentations" would be a top of the pile "how to" book
