FLY TYING MADE EASY August 27, 2008
Victor Akopian (RENO, NV.)
This is one of the most interesting books on fly tying I have ever read, breaks its down so the very beginner can just pick it up. I was having problems in the past with all the flys and the elements that went into making a fly, but with this book it was all spelled out very plain.
As far as I am concerned this is a must read for all beginners.

Comprehensive, easy to read and follow. July 11, 2008

I purchased this book about a year ago, and I have found it to be every bit as helpful as the other posters on this site have already attested.
The book is well illustrated, printed on thick paper, and both ingenious and unique in it's presentation of the patterns and the techniques needed in tying.
I work overseas most of the time, so I do almost all of my shopping via Amazon... I don't write too many reviews, but a year later here I am singing the praises of this great book.
It is worth every penny, and would happily pay double if I had to replace the copy I currently own.
Best Idea ever April 1, 2008
Eddie Mathis (Fayetteville NC USA)
This is the best how to book format I have ever seen. It is so great. It just makes sense to have spilt pages with the recipe on the top half of the page and instructions for the different techniques on the bottom half. It has helped me to understand fly tieing so much. Great book.
 EVERY NEW/INTERMEDIATE FLY TYER NEEDS THIS BOOK August 20, 2007
G. David Nyberg (Cumberland, Md. USA)
I have several fly tying books, of which, none can approach this book in explaining how to tye flies. The way this book is laid out is a clear advantage. I feel that most anyone will benefit who is interested in tying. A person can purchase a less expensive book on tying, but remember the old saying, "buy the best and cry once."

Awesome! June 26, 2007

If you are thinking of getting started in fly tying,this IS the book to purchase. It will be your last and only book that you will need to purchase on this subject. It is extremely easy to navigate and takes the mystery out of fly tying techniques. Even seasoned veterans might find an easier technique to use. I would recommend it to family and friends!
