Well-known to readers of John Gierach as that author's occasional sidekick on western trout streams, A.K. Best wades into the deep waters of the angling library himself with an authoritative and instructional look at fly-tying. Best details the tying methods for his own popular creations as well as old standards, with plenty of photos of both naturals and their imitations. Also inlcuded is an introduction by Gierach.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A master's class in fly work,
By Former Rater (Nowhere) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A. K.'s Fly Box (Hardcover)
Arche Best has the perfect name for his craft. Every design in this gem of a guide is clean, sparse and well documented. AK has photos of the naturals next to his creations or modifications of the classic flys. Any serious tier needs this book.

The best of the best,
By A Customer
This review is from: A. K.'s Fly Box (Hardcover)
This is the book after you have been thru the rest. Best shows you how to tie some of the most innovative styles around. Be sure to get his other Fly-Tying books as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars
quill flies-- blah,
This review is from: A. K.'s Fly Box (Hardcover)
While the photographs are excellent, the packaging high quality, and the instructions clear, I think you REALLY need to buy into the whole quill body thing to take full advantage of this book. I gave my copy to someone who would appreciate it more.
