Leland on A. K. Best's Fly Box
Describes 90 patterns, illustrated in more then 200 color photos with complete step-by-step tying instructions from a man who claims not to be comfortable about tying a pattern until he's tied a hundred dozen of them. A.K. has fished each of these patterns for at least 6 years, many as much as 25 years, continually refining the patterns to make them easier to tie, more durable & more effective at fooling trout. Fly tying, the foundation of a major sport, is also an art form. And the Picasso of fly tying is A. K. Best. A. K. Best’s Fly Box includes illustrations depicting naturals and their highly developed imitations, all of which have been used and refined by A. K. himself over many years. Full color, 200 color photos; 7x9 inches, 224 pgs.
