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.	The Best Carp Flies I have been tying flies for quite some time now and it is quite a rare event when I pick up a magazine or book and get the urge to run to my vise and tie up some new flies.	The North Country Fly When it comes to books, there's nothing I like more than focus. A book that has a well defined subject and covers in depth rather than broad has my vote already before I have opened it.
Production Fly Tying	Saltwater Flies The contents of my fairly well stocked fishing book shelves bear witness to the fact that I love fly pattern books. My small book database says that I currently have 115 pattern books.	Das große Trockenfliegen-Buch We don't often review books in German, but it has happened. And since we do have a large German audience - the second largest after the 'merikans - it's not totally out of the way to do so.
