Now that you have the book, you can tie up Dr. Burke's plates, six hundred thirty-six flies. You should have a pretty well stocked fly box when your done. Show us some pics when you tie the last fly, we'll be looking forward to it. LOL. Oh... and be prepared to spend a fortune on fly tying materials to tie "the plates".
I love the book and page through it every so often. There's no magic in there but it is an American bible so to speak. It's great history. You bought a winner.
