Review Kayak Fishing Sep 14. 2014 This book isn't brand new, but has been out for several years. My copy is even second edition.	Review Nymph Fly-Tying Techniques Sep 9. 2014 The subtitle "Over 1,000 color photos of techniques and pattern styles" lured me into buying this book from 2001. 125 pages at 10 UK£ or about 16 US$ used made it a no-brainer.	Review Salt Jun 23. 2014 This is one of those books that has you in awe just handling it. Big, heavy, high quality printing on heavy stock paper. Large full spread photos and delicate and discrete text layout.
Review Tying and Fishing the Booby Fly May 24. 2014 I have to admit up front that I'm pretty old fashioned when it comes to books, and even though I have read my share of ebooks, I definitely prefer my fishing books printed with ink on paper.	Review A World of Pike Flies May 3. 2014 In the European pike fly fishing community Dutch Ad Swier is a well known profile, probably best known for his beautiful art, often depicting the toothy predator which this book is about, but also	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 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 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.
