    Yes and it's simple to download. After you download it, bookmark Amazon's sport books on fishing and check it every day as every day they have one to three free books to download. Many don't amount to much but there have been some real nuggets every once in awhile. They also have some good buys on other fishing and tying books.

    Allan going old school. Why not H.G. McClelland's The Trout Fly Dresser's Cabinet of Devices? If it was good enough for the Dettes....

    More seriously, if somebody already has a sense of what they're doing, then you'd have to go with the Benchside Reference.

    By the way, if you have an interest, the Tightlines Production videos on Vimeo featuring Matt Grobert are just freaking fantastic.

    I realize your original request was for tying books and there are so many good books on the market, you really can't beat youtube and dvd's as instructional mediums. there is nothing like watching the actual ties. I've been tying for 30+ years and sometimes reading about tying a featured fly in the magazines sometimes creates interpretational problems for me. best wishes

    There was at one time a great companion video that went along with the book.

    Tying Dry Flies and Tying Nymphs by Randall Kaufmann
    Clouser's Flies by Bob Clouser
    Production Fly Tying by AK Best
    Fly-Tyers Benchside Reference by Lessor and Schollmeyer
    The Art of Tying The Dry Fly by Skip Morris
    Al Campbell Series on Tying here on the main site page under fly tying. Boy I sure miss Al. I especially miss his contribution on the bb. He definitely was an enabler.
    Trout don't speak Latin.
