4.0 out of 5 stars An well-illustrated book of the world's more popular flies., 5 Nov 1997

By A Customer

One of the problems with most books is the geographical influence of the flies presented. One seldom finds a book that covers flies from many regions of the world. The author does with relative success. It must be a daunting task for an author to put together a book on flies, as the number of flies in the world can not be covered in one book. Taff Price appears to have picked up the most popular flies in the various regions I am familiar with. As a fly tier I found it to be a good source of reference for flies to tie. This is made easier by covering the materials used in the making of these flies. The sections covered vary from trout flies both wet and dry, to most other game fish. The sections on trout flies are the strongest of the book. The other sections covering the various game fish pursed on a fly tend to be a less comprehensive. This is not only a fault with this book but most other fly reference books. One is probably better off get specialist books covering the flies needed for a specific game fish type. The flies in these sections, are the more popular flies used for these game fish. This guide is most adequate for most fly fisherman and fly tier's requirements. The color illustrations of the flies tend to be very good. In some of the fly reference books I have used I have found there to be a color reproduction problem with the illustrations, this is not true for this book. This book is a good buy for the fly fisherman or fly tier looking for new flies from around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great illustrations, I was very impressed!, 11 Jun 1999

By A Customer

This is probably the best fly-tying instruction book I have ever used. It is very simple, yet has everything. It is great for beginners, but also for profesionals!
