[Dennis Robbins]

The book illustrates fly tying methods before the advent of synthetic materials. The step-by-step images of tying attractor, stonefly, caddis and mayfly patterns is historically interesting and still valuable in the present. I would read this book for the significant wisdom offered by the authors about fly fishing for trout in the American West.
