I have been tying trout flies for many years. This year my brother bought a cottage on a lake. His grand kids wanted to know if I could tie them some bass lures. This book is a MUST read if your going to tie bass bugs or pan fish bugs. I must admit I have been up to my neck in dear hair for a week now. I think I'm going with the kids and fish these bugs. Again, if you are tying pan fish bait this is the book to have...

I am a novice, but this book is for everyone. I did have to go out and buy a a few things, but who shouldn't. I loved the photos and the narration and there is nothing like cathing a two pound bream or sunfish, whichever you prefer on a three weight fly rod on a fly that I tied! Even better is when a four pound Bass wants to get involved, which is what happened on my last excursion (sorry trout guys!).

This book was given to me as a gift some time ago. I started to tie flies again and it really came in handy. Deer hair is something you do not want to try without the right information.
After reading and folowing the techniques and illistrations in this book the quality of my flies had made huge improvements. It really gives good step by step instructions that make sence and is easy to follow. I have added it to my library of information any find myself refering to it again and again, simetimes for guidence, sometimes just for insperation.
