Hi D4D,
I also have Tom Nixon's book and have just about worn out the pages and the binding. For years this was the only book on fly fishing for panfish and Nixon is certainly the great pioneer in the field. The only reason I didn't list his book is the fact thats it's out of print and one of the more expensive books to buy second hand, usually running well over $100. Still and all, a great classic book----I second your recommendation. 8T
