Scott Sanchez's innovative fly patterns are dreamed up, proven, and refined on the demanding wild-trout waters of the Yellowstone region. About the author, John Bailey of Dan Bailey's Fly Shop in Livingston, says: "In all my years in the fly-fishing business, I have not met anyone who is as creative a fly tier as Scott Sanchez. He has no boundaries. I still marvel how many ideas continue to flow from him." And Dave Klausmeyer, Editor of Fly Tyer Magazine, adds: "This well-written and illustrated volume contains nothing but excellent patterns designed to entice trout-- no fluff, no padding, no bull." Detailed tying instructions and close-up photos are shown for 20 of the author's most effective patterns. The book also contains useful information on fishing the flies and practical tips on fishing the West. It covers the entire spectrum from the popular Double Bunny to the Parachute Midge Emerger. Sanchez's flies are quick and easy to tie, and will immediately help! the angler fish more productively in a wide variety of waters and conditions.

Good job Chez!,

This review is from: A New Generation of Trout Flies (Masters on the Fly series) (Spiral-bound)
So much that's out there purporting to be 'new' in fly fishing and tying is nothing more than gross plagiarism or rehashing. Scott's book is a breath of fresh air, and one of only a very few books that reveal what's truly going on now at the forefront of western fly fishing. Chez has arisen from a guide and fly shop clerk to one of the most innovative tiers in the Rockies. He excels at utilizing synthetic material in new ways as exemplified by his `Midge X'. Scott's knowledge of aquatic entomology is formidable, and his writing on the subject is, with a few small exceptions, accurate. His writing style does tend towards funky in spots. At times refers to himself as "a 7 weight junkie, a glue junky, a synthetic junkie, etc. But all in all it doesn't detract from the book. You know you are reading the words of an angler, not an egocentric armchair wannna be writing for one of the many unbearable glossy fly fishing magazines. His fly's work. I have used them in rivers near my Wyoming home, in Alberta, B.C., Russia, and Alaska. Buy this book even if you don't tie. It contains plenty of usefull ancillary information about hatches and technique.

Fun and New,
By flue fisker (Pico Rivera, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A New Generation of Trout Flies (Masters on the Fly series) (Spiral-bound)
Scott's book is an excellent benchside companion. I really enjoyed the easy to follow step by step instruction. I would consider myself an avid tier and I found this book to be one of best that I've come across for trout patterns. Scott gives some great commentary related to each fly on how to fish and what it represents and then follows that up with some great photos. I know there are a lot of books out there, and I've bought or looked through a bunch...but this book happens to be my favorite to date. I have great hope in that Barr's new book will be as good as Scott's. And I can't wait for Scott to write another book.
