That book was sold by it's self. I bought a copy in 1971 and still have it. Great book. I used it for color in the flies. Back then most books didn't have color in them like they do today so we used that book a lot. Brings back a lot of old memories. Thanks Ron

Great little reference book. I've also seen the same book sold under the name "Family Circle's Guide to Trout Flies and How to Tie Them".

I picked up a 1970 copy of that book at a flea market JUST for those gorgious color plates!

My one of these days plan is to scan the plates so I can make shadow boxes with real flies next to the pictures.

I have the book also. I would not like to try and learn to tie flies from it however.
