Review Why I Fly Fish Mar 24. 2014 The last time I reviewed a book (or several, actually) by Chris Santella, I wasn't impressed.	Review Tributaries Feb 28. 2014 In an odd way the highlight of this video is the final poor quality Skype conversation, which takes place between the three main characters, Prescott Smith, Siggi Haugur and Tuqui Viscarro.	Review The Tube Fly Jan 27. 2014 Being an avid tube fly fan and having tied tube flies for almost as long as I have tied flies, I have wanted this book ever since it was published in 2006 where I saw it in a local flyshop.
Review Casting That Fly 1/2 - Basics/Advanced Dec 17. 2013 The absolute first words from casting instructor Lars Christian Bentsen in this video expresses my feelings about fly casting videos very well: Can you become a better caster by watching this video	Review Predator Nov 29. 2013	Review The Founding Flies Nov 2. 2013 Almost every trout fisherman has heard of the Adams dry fly, it being ubiquitous on trout streams throughout the world. You know the old adage - when in doubt try an Adams.
Review Feather Brain Oct 19. 2013 If I were to commission a book on fly-tying from an author, the description of this book would be close to what I'd order.	Review Wet Flies Oct 9. 2013 Japanese author, angler and fly-tyer Ken Sawada is an odd character... not meant in any insulting way at all, but more like an expression of my admiration.	Review Classic Michigan Flies Oct 9. 2013 This is not a big book by any measure - big as in pages, big as in format or big as in scope. Rather the opposite, actually. It's a small publication with a narrow subject.
Review Trout Aug 7. 2013 A short detour on Prosek before I return to the books at hand.	Review North Country Flies Jul 10. 2013 If you're into tying spider flies, soft hackles and so called flymphs, this book will thrill you. It's a reprint of an old book, originally published 1885.	Review The Fly Fisher's Playbook Feb 28. 2013 Don't let the 4/5 rating fool you.
