SynopsisThis is the most comprehensive directory of salmon flies ever published. Respected international fly-tying author Chris Mann has been studying salmon flies and their inventors for 30 years. He has corresponded with countless expert tiers in the United States, Canada, the Nordic and Western European countries, seeking out all their popular and enduring salmon flies. Over 1800 salmon and steelhead flies¯each one illustrated in color and with its full dressing provided¯make this the definitive reference, the all-in-one volume for salmon anglers and fly-tiers throughout the world. Chris Mann¿s vibrant illustrations of the flies show them with great clarity, accuracy, and consistency. The flies are ordered alphabetically, making it easy for the reader to find the exact fly and to check the precise dressing. Mann gives a brief introduction to each fly, noting its originator when known, and the reputation it has achieved. Included are the most important and relevant examples of each type of pattern¯dry, hairwing, featherwing, hackle fly, Spey, Dee, shrimp, skater, marabou, etc. Also included is a bibliography and three separate indexes make finding what you want quite easy. This beautifully designed and illustrated book is destined to be a classic, found on the bookshelves of salmon anglers and fly-tiers worldwide.

The compendium of fishing flies!
Wow this is quite the compendium of fishing flies! Featuring 1800 flies fully illustrated and with their full pattern (material) lists and some quick relevant facts. The flies are organized by name and group for the most well known classic salmon flies and steelhead (trout) flies. There are no step by step tying instructions for the beginner since this is not that kind of book - it's far easier to learn tying skills from YouTube videos than a book anyway. If you can read a fly pattern and have the skills you should have no problems recreating any of the flies listed - provided you can obtain some of the rare materials or a comparable synthetic. A few reviews on Amazon complained that the flies are illustrated and not photographs of actual flies but the illustrations are clear, realistic and more detailed than many photos in other books so I think it's a plus. I've attached a pic of the inside so you can see the drawing style since there don't seem to be any interior shots of this book online. My review is based on the 2008 hardcover edition.
