About fly fishing, not just dry fly fishing
Yes, the focus of the book is the dry fly, but Gary swirls around this focal point with so much general trout information and thought provoking analysis that it's almost a misnomer. To explain why the color of a dry fly might be important, he explains why it might be less so on a nymph. He describes why a fish might feed and why it might simply strike. He describes why a fish might be ...

Outstanding! A must for any person interested in fly fishing
In my opinion this is one of the finest written and illustrated books on fly fishing that has ever been published. The authors are masterful at explaining and showing the reader the important aspects of fly fishing. I recommend this book to all my fishing friends and anyone who shows an interest in the wonderful sport of fly fishing.

Better than a Michigan River?
Last summer-99, I fished the Beaverkill and loved it, even in early August during the drought, for two days. I bought this book about a month ago, as I plan to go the the Beaverkill again this June for at least a week. Peper gives a very detailed account on how and where to fish the ponds of the B'kill. His descriptions of the hatches and the ties to fly are a plus to the book. In the past few ...

Trout Flies, Proven Patterns

Must reading for LaFontaine fans
This is the first fly pattern book that I've ever read from cover to cover. LaFontaine's insights into trout behavior, and his off-the wall sense of humor kept me turning the pages. In all honesty, LaFontaine's flies are weird. I have no idea what the "Air Head" is supposed to be (it looks like something from our office's packing department trash can). The "Creature" looks like it was tied by ...

Another great pocket guide by Cordes
Definitely a good guide with the basics in plain English. This little book, like the other guides, is made of a strong plastic with etched text. It really is tough.

Fly fishing & Entomology
This book by Malcolm Knopp and Robert Cormier is destined to be a fishing classic. The pair has provided research and usable information on maylfy identification, insect behavior during their life stages, imitative patterns and fishing technique pointers. I have modified my fishing techniques to match the behaviours noted in the book. I have also found it very useful in making flies that work ...

Excellent
This book mixed enteraining stories with valuable information on Gary's years of observation of the behavior of trout in high country lakes. I have read numerous books and articles regarding techniques to use on high country lakes, but have rarely found such valuable information as revealed in this book. In fact, I have read this book twice over the last several months in an effort to soak up ...

Get a PhD in Caddis
As LaFontaine states midway through the book, "The study of caddisflies is the graduate school of an angler's education." His book clearly mirrors both the diversity and complexity of its subject matter - caddisflies. LaFontaine mastery of the bug and how to present it to trout in it's varying life stages is apparent. But the crowning achievement in these pages is the bridge LaFontaine builds ...

Amazing little reference
This pocket guide is ruggedly built! It is small, and has great information. It is not meant to be a book-based course on first aid, and it doesnt claim to be. It is perfect for a quick reference for those who do not have time to learn the subject but need help when the task is at hand. I keep one in my first aid kit and recommend you do the same.

good for beginners
As the title states, it is. Made of plastic,you don't have to worry about it getting wet. The lettering and pictures are "stamped" on the "pages" in such a way that it insures long life. The information is good and it is handy to have along. It measures aprox. 4.5 X 3 inches.

Fundamental Knots for everyone...
Ok - I am new to the world of fly fishing - but, I have spent about $5,000 on equipment and trips already since June - this is a must in your vest or fanny pack on the water - helped me enjoy my time on the water and reduce frustration with remembering the knots - buy a nail knot tool before you do anything else...

Good referance book
If your looking for a step by step guide go else where. If your looking for a pocket sized referance to jog the memory in a panic confused situation this is it. Tabed to help find topics. Solid laminated pages to protect it from weather; and my children. Large printing so broaken or lost glases aren't as much of a problem. And oh yes, informitave, with lots of diagrams to back up the info. The ...
