Phil...haven't got mine yet, Barnes and Noble said they ain't got it...hmmm.

Another good read - just finished The Battenkill by John Merwin. I had always wondered why so many Orvis products were called Battenkill this and that, now I know! I never thought reading about a river's history and geology could be so interesting. Also some good tips fishing spots, although possibly a bit outdated by now.

One of my favourite books is Flytyers Masterclass by Oliver Edwards. Good book for tying realistic imitators; detailed explanations.
-
Oliver Edwards' Flytyer's Masterclass is THE book to have!!! Also if you really want some good DVDs check out Oliver Edwards' Essential Skills.

Aside from the others mentioned already, in the realm of trout fishing, I like "Slack Line Strategies for Fly Fishing" by John Judy, and "Trout Maverick" by Leonard Wright Jr.
For bass and panfish: "Black Bass & the FLy Rod" by the late Charles F Waterman, "The Sunfishes" and "Bassin' With a Fly Rod" by Jack Ellis, and "Bluegill...Fly Fishing and Flies" and "Largemouth Bass Fly-Fishing" by Terry and Roxanne Wilson.
For pike: "Pike on the FLy" by Reynolds and Berryman.
For carp: "Carp on the Fly" by Reynolds, Befus, and Berryman.
For saltwater, Lefty Kreh's "Flyfishing in Saltwater" is good but for the SW game there is so much regional and species variety it has hard to put together a basic list. Some areas have seen very little in print in book form.

Some of my favourites are: Books by Vince Marinaro,and as Fly Fishing Texas states,"What The Trout Said " by Datus Proper, and "Trout" by Schweibert,
I also agree with Old Geyser, in his stated rememberance of what a guide told him "90 percent of what a trout eats is brown and fuzzy and about five-eights of an inch long.
Thats why my favourite flies are Hare and Coppers about size 12,and also what I call Brown Skungies,size 12,Hares fur body and tail,copper rib, gold beadhead,and a soft partridge hackle tied in front of the bead, and weighted. Regards, Highwood NZ
