5.0 out of 5 stars
very good investment, July 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Book of Fly Patterns (Hardcover)
I am a commercial tier and licenced outfitteer and have advised the purchase of this book for years as it holds more information and patterns than 5 times the book price in "other books". The instruction of how totie some of the patterns is exaxctly as how it should be done and this has helped me a great deal...I am a licenced outfitter here on the Bighorn River so tying is business not sport and advise this as a excelent first book.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not for the beginner., February 23, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Book of Fly Patterns (Hardcover)
Althought this book claims to have many illustrations, they are of poor quality and small size. It includes sparse directions on how to actually tie each fly, but rather only gives "recipes" of materials to be used for each. I would recommend The Basic Manual of Fly Tying by Paul Fling for those that want step by step directions.
