  • Excellent Book

    This book is well written and full of information about Carrie Stevens life and the Featherwing streamers she made famous. It goes into her life story and the known and unknown streamer patterns. The research done by the author on the subject matter is in-depth and top notch. I highly recommend this book to anyone tying streamers or just the tying and fishing history of Maine. All in all, a great read and well worth the money.
