This review is from: Woolly Wisdom: How to Tie and Fish Woolly Worms, Woolly Buggers, and Their Fish-Catching Kin. Tying Recipes for 400 Patterns! (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. I just started tying flys in January 07, mostly saltwater flys. This book gives good advice on how to ty these flies and how to fish them. The catalog of patterns for wooly worms and wolly buggers is the greatest strenghth of this book. The author has collected a voluminous amount of fly patterns with photographs as well as descriptions of the origins of the fly and where it works best. I'm traveling to the Ozarks next month to fish there for the first time and I found a fly - a Miller Wolly Worm - that originated there and is purported to work well. I highly recommend this book for tyers of all abilities.
