Calls for an expanded edition.

Of all the 18 or so books in my fly-tying library I use this the most. Perhaps this is because, like many fly fishermen, I am just getting into salt water fishing. And as a relatively new area there are many patterns and approaches being evolved every week. This volume is the best so far, surpassing the Kreh book, in my estimation, in it's clarity of organization and description as well as the photos. They next edition needs more recent patterns and a short chapter on new materials and methods. Incidentally, one of the bonefish patterns on page 22 has become my old reliable for freshwater black bass, taking many up to 5 and a half pounds. Look down in the corner.

Flys and more flys, a good idea book, reciepts are just OK.

This is a good book on flys that other guys tye. Flys that work and some fly that just look good. The reciepts for the individual flys are complete to a point, they could be better. Fly tyers can change things but a least the idea is there and the credit is given to the right person. The pictures are great and the selection is never ending. Get a copy today.
