I am surprised that no one has mentioned any of the three editions of Tom
Nixon's classic book Fly Tying and Fly Fishing For Bass And Panfish. Some may
consider it dated, but you must remember that the reason fly fishing is banned
from B.A.S.S. competition is that he beat them at their own game one day on
Toledo Bend when they could not boat a fish and he caught them all day long
Sadly, Tom passed away a little over a year ago, and I lost a true friend and
so did those who fly fish for bass. I prefer the second edition of his book.
You might find a copy on ebay, but I suggest you contact Walt Winter at
EZflyfish.com or Wilson Creek Outfitters to see if he has a copy.
