Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Although any "best of" list is subjective by nature, this collection of color plates organizes many of the most popular flies in North America by category: trout, steelhead, salmon, bass, and saltwater. Individual fly descriptions include basic information for tyers, such as hook size, thread, tail, body, wings, and hackle. Don't expect to find esoteric local patterns for your favorite stream, but as a guide to the most widely accepted flies, this is a thorough resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best compendium of world-wide accepted fly patterns, October 21, 1997
Randy Stetzer's selection of flies for "The Best One Thousand" is clearly the fly pattern index of choice. The fly selection covers warmwater, saltwater, deerhair, dries, nymphs and streamers and even includes some fanciful unique flies. This book doesn't include flies that are localized creations...each pattern has been accepted world-wide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, June 5, 2006
Not much how - to in this book. this is the book you are looking for if you are an intermediate tier or thinking of going commercial. It is recognized WORLD WIDE and has many many many patterns and recipes.
It won't bog you down with instruction on how to use or apply the material, but gives you a clear image of the fly, and lists what material is used for hook, body, tail, etc. A great suppliment to your tying desk if you would like to work on some professional looking flies.
Certainly in the must have category

5.0 out of 5 stars The one fly tying book you need to own., June 18, 2006
By Minerva (Colorado Springs, CO) - See all my reviews
Once you have the basic skills, this book will carry you the rest of the way. It does not include esoteric techniques but those can be looked up at the library or online. This is the one book I keep next to my fly tying setup.

5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoy this book every time I sit down to tie flies.
This book is my all time favorite. It has all the flies that I enjoy to tie. I open this book every time I sit down to tie flies, although it isn't something I do often anymore. Read more
