Table of Contents: - In his fourth book on the subject, author A. K. Best offers a thoughtful interpretation of advanced techniques for tying trout flies. In A. K. Best's Advanced Fly Tying, A. K. discusses tools, materials, and methods in elaborate detail, and the resulting fly patterns "may, in the right hands, fool a few more trout," according to John Gierach's introduction. Review Quotes: "A. K.'s tying instructions come from long experience as a professional fly tyer (a job where time really is money) but that's not all of it. Plenty of people are very good at something, but few are so acutely aware of what they're doing, how they do it and why, and almost none are able to explain it clearly. A. K. is among the best fly tyers I've ever seen, and his is the best instructor."--John Gierach, from the Introduction "A. K. is one of the truly great fly tyers of our age.

| Because of his vast experience with trout, he has altered the way some favorite patterns are tied. Tie the flies the way he teaches in the book and use his advice for fishing them and you'll take more fish. That's a promise!"--Lefty Kreh "Few tyers are as outspoken and iconoclastic as A. K. Best. And few are right as often." - Ted Leeson |
