Czech Nymph I was tying at a show in Roscoe, NY this past Spring when a gentleman approached my table to ask about tying Czech nymphs, referring the article I wrote a couple years ag	Tying and Fishing Soft-Hackled Nymphs To borrow a phrase from the great G.E.M. Skues, wet fly fishing continues to be a minor tactic among fly anglers.	The Fly-Fisher's Craft I've enjoyed all of Darrel Martin's fly fishing books, and "The Fly-Fisher's Craft" is no exception.
Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die See the review A Hundred Places to Fly Fish Before You Die	A Passion for Pike It's nice sometimes to bump into a different book, and Dutch Ad Swier's pike book is different.	Clouser's Flies It sure is nice to see Bob's flies celebrated in such a book. Heavy bond paper with a glossy sheen, beautiful full color photos, and lots of step-by-step instructions. Very nice.
Fish Flies I and II This is an amazing couple of books! Volume one has been sitting on my bookshelf for many years and I have had it out many times to check facts about various patterns.	Fly Fishing the Great Western Rivers Some books just have it all: great images, well written text, large format, beautiful typography and all the nice graphic details. But very few have gold print.	Woolly Wisdom A book which is any fly tier's wet dream - or nightmare - depending on your angle of observation and approach to flies and fly tying.
Fly Fishing the Best Rivers of Patagonia, Argentina It is a stunning and mouth watering experience to let your fingers run through and your eyes run over this book.	The Art of the Atlantic Salmon Fly Reviewing a book originally from 1989 might seem a bit silly. Let me assure you it isn't! Reviewing a book written by J. D. Bates might seem a bit intimidating. Let me assure you it is!	Spey Flies and Dee Flies I have always been fascinated by Spey and Dee flies.
