Flyfishing Alaska
Good Flies: Favorite Trout Patterns and How They Got That Way (Paperback)
by John Gierach; 2002; paperback; 192pp; isbn 1585746118

reviewed:  "He can even make a fly tying book fun to read
John Gierach continues to hold his spot as the top author of fly fishing. I actually anticipated him taking the subject of fly tying, and go against the grain. While most authors tend to make this subject dry and complex, John makes it simple. Through the book he continues to discuss the practicality of his tying and being realistic to use what works. After all, tying flies is a means to an end. Everyone who ties flies enjoys tying the pretty ones, but the ones we use are the ones that catch fish."

reviewed:  "This man thinks about flies
It's hard to sit still long enough to read this book. Every few pages has me up out of my seat--what am I doing reading, when I could be at the vise creating? Gierach offers several ideas in this book that I've tried and like (Now, what will I do with all those Wooly Buggers tied the old way?). Of course, his preferences and biases don't always gel with my own, nor with those of other tier-authors. But even when I disagree (I like the looks of beadheads), the preferences he explains in this book offer plenty to think about. In addition, he offers some unforgetable common sense anecdotes reminscent of the stories in books like _Sex, Death, and Fly-Fishing_."
