Add this to your library of trout fishing books

Good arrangement allows for quick access to info. This collection is easy to use and the photos (plates) are excellent. Definitely worth having in your trout fly references.

good addition to your fly tying library

This is a great collections of patterns for the fly tyer or, even for the fly fishing angler. While the collection of photographs of the trout flies leaves much to be desired, the amount of variations on traditional and non-traditional flies makes up for it. The book is organized by species of flies with an adequate index of common names and species names. For just about each true fly, there is a description of the fly, where it is found, how it is to be fished, and color/time of day variations found. This is a good addition to your fly tying library.
