What Fly Fishing Book?

What do you look for in book about fly fishing such that you will actually
take action and buy it?



I don't own it.




I can't remember the fellows name, but I once met a man living on the banks
of the Williamson in Chiloquin, Oregon right where the bridge in town
crosses the water, that was a fishing book dealer. His small house was
lined with shelves, and I mean lined, all walls, all rooms, floor to
ceiling, filled with books, mainly "fishing books." Not an unattractive
interior decoration scheme, imho G

I am like most flyfishers in that I have bought too many shelves full
of fly fishing bopoks from Half Price Books simply because they were
there. The last couple of years, it is only when Gierach publishes
another book and then I go on auto pilot. I think my favorites are Even
Brook Trout Get The Blues( I like the chapter about gar fishing) and
Trout Bum. I will buy another one this year in that I have heard that
there is another edition of Keith Fulsher's Book about tying the
Thunder Creek Series of streamers and I have never found a copy I could
buy of the origional book or pamplet or whatever it is called.

If the guys that did Forgotten Flies did another such book, I guess I
would sell a stack of fly rods so I could buy a copy of that book.

I really like The Longest Silence - "Wisdom of the Guides" is also
really good.

No, the book guy was a different guy, near a different bridge over the
Williamson, maybe a mile upstream from where Polly had his trailer.

On the book subject ... on my second visit with Polly I asked him to sign my
copy of Fuzzy Nymphs .... he wanted $50 to do it!! .... it remains un-signed
