In keeping with the theme of our latest fly swap, I want to post a few thoughts on this book. Gary really was ahead of his time, in fly fishing, fly tying and book writing. I keep this book next to my fly tying stuff for quick information. While I find the book for the most part, to be overwhelming for all it's Latin , unless you are rally into that, you can just ignore it and hunt down the basics. It seems I reach for the book constantly upon returning from most fishing trips to search caddis flies I thought I might have seen on the water.
Anyway, I recommend this book to all fly tyers.
