Sandy, have you ever seen the book Forgotten Flies by Paul Schmookler
and Ingrid V. Sils? It is a very large "coffe table" type book with
more than 500 pages. The flies are Atlantic Salmon flies and
streamers. The colors are breath taking, and the entire book is worth
purchasing even just to look at the wonderfull flies tied by artists
long ago, never mind the hundred of recipes, and the great reading.

There is a section on Carrie Stevens' streamers and we all know they
work. Also sections on John Raymond Bergman, Chrles DeFeo, Mary Orvis
Marbury and Preston Jennings.
