You asked for a review so here it is... 365 Trout Flies Patterns and Recipes for a Year of Successful Fishing By John Van Vliet and Hans Weilenmann, copyright 2013 by Voyageur Press. $30 US, L20UK, and $33 CAN but available from Amazon for $10.03. The book is a small form (6.5in x 8.5in). The paper is off-white and appears to be of good quality being heavy and slick. The spine is solid so the book does not lie flat. The book contains 265 numbered pages.
This is not a book for amateurs as the author's don't waste words. A one page introduction starts each of five sections; Nymphs, Dries, Wets, Streamers and Terrestrials. A few paragraphs on one page covers the About the Authors section.
A beautiful photograph of each pattern accompanies the recipe. Each page contains one or two recipes. The recipes include several classics as well as variations of flies we have come to expect from John and Hans. Each pattern is clearly marked with the tiers initials. John seems to have taken the lead on the brief introductions.
I have several pattern books. There are enough variants and examples of unique flies in this book to make it a valuable addition to your library. The subtitle seems to challenge us to fish every day of the year. While most of us can't do this, this might be a great guide to tying a fly a day for a year.
I heartily recommend obtaining a copy, especially at the Amazon price.
