5.0 out of 5 stars Tying lake flies, June 1, 2007

By	streamcaddis (Grand Rapids Mi) - See all my reviews

I loved the photos and the narration and there is nothing like cathing a two pound bream or sunfish, whichever you prefer on a three weight fly rod on a fly that I tied! Even better is when a four pound Bass wants to get involved, which is what happened on my last excursion (sorry trout guys!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book by the master!, January 20, 2006

Skip Morris is by far the best fly tying instruction book writer that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I hope to meet Skip someday out on the water and personaly thank him for making my time at the tying bench more enjoyable and my time on the water more productive.
