Fly Patterns of Umpqua Feather Merchants: The World's 1,500 Best Flies

This is a great book. Not only does it provide information about 1,500 amazing flies, it also gives short biographies of Dave Whitlock, Randall Kaufmann, Bob Clouser, etc. The flies in this book are great, not only are they innovative, but they are for the most part simple to tie, durable, and will defintely catch the fish that they were made to catch. This is a must for any fly tier. For the beginner it is a great starting point for tying great flies, and for the advance or veteran fly tier it is a great addition. There are also many flies in this book that Umpqua has the copyright to so the patterns of these flies can only be provided in this book.

This is a top-shelf, must have for any fly tyer. It is simply the most complete reference with the best color photography.

I recommend this book to all the fly tiers out their that dont have this book
