Fly fishers meeting streamside often go through a garrulous ritual,
the aim of which is not friendship but espionage: "Catching
anything? On what?" "Rising fish? Mmm . . .what're they looking
at?" And sometimes during this dialogue, an angler might happen to
get a glimpse into the fly box of a lifelong student of fly
fishing--a moment's opportunity that will both impress and pique
the wishful fly tyer. A. K. Best's Fly Box, provides a much longer,
much more detailed and explanatory look into the creations and
methods of a great fly tyer. More than two hundred full-color
illustrations depict naturals and their well-developed
imitations--Cahills, Green and Brown Drakes, BWOs, PMDs, Red
Quills, Tricos, Caddis, Midges, Stoneflies, Terrestrials, and more.
A. K.'s step-by-step tying instructions not only teach the reader
how to make excellent imitations, but also demonstrate an approach
to tying that he has refined over years of practice. In fact, the
author insists that he ties a "hundred dozen" copies of a single
pattern before he can feel confident that he truly knows that
pattern. A. K. has fished with all of the flies in this book for at
least sixteen years, many as long as thirty-five years,
continuously refining the patterns to make them easier to tie, more
durable, and more effective at fooling trout. Anglers of any
experience will benefit from this wise and thorough book that
offers a revealing, highly instructional look into the fly box of
one of North America's most respected and experienced tyers.
