Making Better Flies This book is mainly on saltwater flies in spite of the title, and it doesn’t impress - or tell you how to design, develop or improve.	The Fly Fisher A large and beautiful book about the concept of fly fishing covering the subject from many angles, lavishly illustrated with amazing photos.	Farlows Salmon Flies This book is pretty exotic and definitely not for the average fly tyer. But if you are interested in classic salmon flies and their history, it's a book you must have on your shelves.
Fleye Design Bob Popovics can rightfully be called one of the most innovative fly tyers today. And he keeps on sharing new methods in his latest book.

GT Wow! I just have to say wow! GT's are just... wow... and this book is like… wow!	Fly-casting Finesse I'm not a big fan of learning to cast from a book, but there's little doubt that this book can actually make you a better fly caster. And it features a remote controlled dry training shark!

It clearly illustrates that they don't have to be.
Perrault's Standard This might not look like the most exciting book I own. It isn't valuable. It isn't particularly beautiful either – rather ugly actually. Still it's one of the gems in my collection.	Crooked Lines Some fishing books teaches you stuff, some fascinate you, some entertain you. Some do all and more	Simple Flies A book that has Hans Weilenmann's CDC&Elk on the cover has to have something good inside. And this book has.
