Expert or beginner this is a very good tying book. The book provides extraordinary detail on a variety of patterns with large, color photos step-by-step. The book also has a variety of other patterns that includes material and notes. Patterns covered are for a variety of species, from tarpon to snook to bonefish, striped bass, bluefish etc. Covers both natural and synthetic patterns

not up to his usual work,

This review is from: Tying Contemporary Saltwater Flies: An Illustrated Step-By-Step Guide (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I also own Tying Classic Freshwater Streamers by Dave Klausmeyer. i was disappointed in this book. Having been a subscriber to Fly Tyer magazine(Edited by Dave) since its inception I guess I have come to expect the best from Dave. This is rather mediocre compared to his usual work.I was left wanting more detail and explanation in several areas. It is a good book for a beginner, but if you are an experienced tyer, i think you will be disappointed in this latest book. Based on the content it was also overpriced.I would expect more like $21.95 for a book like this, rather than $45.00.
All in all, I really was disappointed. You can, and have done, much better than this David Klausmeyer.

If you are heading to the salt, you need this book to prepare in advance if you tie your own flies. The book is great, the teaching is spot on and the patterns will catch fish!
A classic for the library!
