By High Plains Fly Fisher from Garden City, KS on 06/08/2009 Describe Yourself: Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The book is an "old standard" with many good patterns. The added DVD's will be a great help to beginner and intermediate fly tyers. It's a great value.
A Classic Fly Tying Guide By Brian from Pacific Northwest on 04/09/2009 Pros: Easy To Use, Versatile Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased the original in the early 80s. It's the jewel of my collection of about 8 books I have on fly tying. It doesn't have the newer materials and patterns, but I already have many recipes; much of it hand written, that I've gleaned over the years stuffed in the book. I have to say that patterns from this book still get me a lot of fish even in heavily fished fly-only water. My humble opinion is that careful observation, presentation and confidence put more fish in the net than the latest patterns. I bought this as a replacement for several reasons. My original is heavily used, with pages falling out. The original's "perfect" glued binding wouldn't let it stay open to a page without putting something across the pages. This one is spiral bound! I haven't watched the the DVDs yet but the majority of the techniques used in this book are needed for tying new patterns. Now to transfer all my notes.
By jwatersphd from boulder, colorado on 02/28/2009 Pros: A classic with benefits Best Uses: Fly Fishing, Freshwater Fishing Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: i can't comment on the dvds which is actually why i got this product, since i haven't had a chance to view them, but i did look through the book. i think what was striking and sort of disconcerting to me is that most of these patterns seem very dated in light of more recent work by people like la fontaine, swisher/richards, cutter, goddard, whose work is on what the insect/organism really looks like to the trout. i'd defer to those who use them as to their effectiveness, but i have to wonder whether these heavily hackled patterns (which i used to use all the time) are effective on heavily-fished trout during selective feeding. also the nymph section is VERY sparse. Still, it is a good book to have in your collection maybe for historic purposes and i know this stuff works on relatively barren freestone streams where the trout will eat mostly anything. i'm hoping the dvds will show good tying techniques. jhw
