4.0 out of 5 stars
A good pattern reference,
By BP (Herndon, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Streamers and Bucktails (Hardcover)
While emphasizing pattern histories more than actual technique, this is nevertheless one of my favorite books. As a tyer, I benefit from the extensive pattern lists and learn a little about each one in terms of where it came from. The book doesn't have as much material covering how to fish streamers, but there's enough for the beginner to learn and more advanced anglers will enjoy the book anyway. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This book is a volume, an indefatigable volume.,
By repinski@mwt.net (Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Streamers and Bucktails (Hardcover)
J.D. Bates delivers exactly what this title indicates. Reflections of big fish taken, and the flies he used to take them. Written in the language of a by-gone generation, this book is easy to read and enjoy. Mr. Bates writes with the colorful appeal and common sense approach of Joe Brooks coupled with the technical efficiency of Mr. Art Lee. A most dangerous com- bination to all fish holding water! 500 streamer and bucktail dressings, 164 of these on 12 full color plates with historical accounts of their origins. A must read for anyone who fishes with the fly.
