I finally tied a parachute adams that looks like the ones in the books! It took Every book A.K. Best has written plus several others. When I got the Fly Tiers Benchside reference I was able to put it all together and come up with a combination of techniques that work for me. I really did take something from all the books I have bought. Besides A.k.'s and the Benchside reference and of courset Talleur's guide to fly tying, can you recommend anymore "musthave" fly tying books?
