5.0 out of 5 stars Great Teaching Style, Comprehensive Reference!, March 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Streamer Fly Tying & Fishing (Hardcover)
Bates has an enjoyable teaching style. He teaches how streamers work, how to select them, and the techniques for fishing them through fictionalized accounts of anglers interacting over a several day period.

This is the most comprehensive reference on classic streamer patterns you will find, with great tying instructions. His history and research are outstanding too. If you're interested in streamers and bucktails, for any kind of fish, you can't go wrong with this book.

If the book has any fault, perhaps it talks about Maine a little too much, but hey, that's where streamers and bucktails really come on. (At least according to Bates!)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Last Book From a Gentleman & Fisherman, November 23, 2001
By 
Edwin (South Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Streamer Fly Tying & Fishing (Hardcover)
If you are looking to catch big fish and get inspired about fishing streamers, this is the book for you. As the author states, when big fish stop eating little fish, a steamer might not work. An excellent history of streamer patterns, methods of tying and methods of fishing. A must for both the present fisherman and the angling historian. A classic!!!! Far better than any streamer book currently on the market.
