5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source of designing flies for salt and fresh water
Gives you a better understading on how bait fish should be tied. Also another way to tie flies and design.
Published on June 29, 1998

versus
3.0 out of 5 stars Preyed
small black and white pictures, large flies displayed in a very small poorly defined format.

Flies ranged between very general representations to overly complicated anatomical imitations... Especially overcomplicated, because I can buy ready made soft plastic forms instead of following the Richard's arduous and more expensive hand made latex simulations...

This review is from: Prey (Hardcover)
small black and white pictures, large flies displayed in a very small poorly defined format.

Flies ranged between very general representations to overly complicated anatomical imitations... Especially overcomplicated, because I can buy ready made soft plastic forms instead of following the Richard's arduous and more expensive hand made latex simulations proposed in this book.

There are some gems of information and flashes of genius in fly design, but all told, I would not have bought this book if I had handled it in a store first. Perhaps my expectations were too high for a Carl Richards book. Instead I highly recommend Bob Popovic's "Pop Fleyes".
