Haynes Fly Fishing Manual The publisher Haynes is probably best known for their car repair manuals, but also has instruction manuals for many other things, fly fishing included	The Lost Salmon Flies of Balmoral If you are into classic salmon flies - like the real classics - and like to divulge in their history and origin, this is a book for you.	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!	Observation This is a great book, and a really excellent intro to reading the water and matching the hatch for the angler who feels that both these disciplines are difficult. 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.	Wild Steelhead I brought home 4 lbs of beautiful wild steelhead the last time I was in the US. Not a fish of course, but a couple of impressing books.
Fusion Fly Tying Greg Senyo's book on modern salmon and steelhead flies is a tour de force in goudy and flashy materials composed into large flies	Classic Steelhead Flies John Shewey has something going on with steelhead with several books on the subject already under his belt.	Tying Heritage Featherwing Streamers Sharon Wright is becoming a familiar name to those who follow developments in streamer fly tying.
