From the streams and rivers of Montana and Michigan, to the flats of Key West, to the coast of California, the professional fishing guides who spend hundreds of days a year on the waters of a specific place or region know those waters and the food the fish are feeding on. Dave Klausmeyer details a selection of the killer flies each of these guides have developed for their local waters. The volume shows the flies in close-up, colour photographs, providing detailed recipes and tying tips so you can duplicate these flies at your own vise. And, through an extensive questionnaire and interviews, the author has solicited the details from each guide of how they developed their flies and how they fish them. The book contains patterns for catching trout, bass, pike, striped bass, bonefish, tarpon and bluefish.
