Another of our FAOL folks has become ‘famous’ - Peter Frailey has flies and photos is the new book Woolly Wisdom, published by Frank Amato Publications. We just received ours today. If you are a Woolly fan, this book has Woolly Worms, Woolly Buggers and “Their Fish-catching Kin.” More to come.

I’d like to add my congrats as well.
As Alberto said, you do tie a mean fly and
produce a darned good likeness with your
camera. Well done sir.G Warm regards, Jim
Congratulations on a job well done. I have always admired your flies for their fish catching abilities and their simplicity in tying them. I have your web page bookmarked on my PC and go to it often to see what is new. I also use several of your flies that I have tied and they are my “go to” flies. Good job!
Thanks so much! I am a bit anxious about the whole thing. Gary Soucie is the author and there are tons of recipes from fly tiers all over the world. Alberto Jimeno (also a FAOL regular) and I tied a few of the flies for Gary where he was unable to get samples from a pattern “originator”. The actual fly photos were done by Jim Scholmeyer. My photos were of various step-by-step directions and a few others. I am a bit nervious about my photos being in there with Jim’s as they are nowhere near his quality and I have learned so much more since I did them. Can’t wait to see the book, though! A couple of my favorite woolly patterns will be included. Gary emailed me last week that he was mailing a copy to me… My personal belief is that the book should sell well, as I believe that most all tiers, both novice and experienced love woollies even if they don’t admit it G.
Congrats Peter. Never realized there were so many wooly buggers that an entire book could be written about them!
Your photos have always been great so I wouldn’t worry about it…
Peter,
Good for you & even BETTER for me. I am a novice tier, but I absolutely LOVE wooly worms for big bluegill. I can assure you that the book will IMMEDIATELY go on my Christmas list, & if it doesn’t make it under the tree, I’m gonna go buy it.
Congratulations Peter!
I will seek that book because I, too,
have a special spot in my fly box for
woolies. I tye them on the tubes.
Best Fishes
