"What the Trout Said" by Datus Proper. I have the second "revised and
augmented" edition, Nick Lyons books, 1989. I believe it is out of
print.

I think another run was published after Proper's death.
Great book.....very well the most important book for fly tyers ever written
by an American. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but that is how I really feel
about that book.
Still, Proper is still the primary narrator, the trout, all adults, and
generally with an attitude, speak to him.....
