"The Fly Tier's Benchside Reference is an incredibly detailed book that will no doubt be recognized for many decades as the definitive guide to tying anything on a hook to create any kind of trout fly. With in-depth discussions of over 400 tying techniques dealing with both natural and synthetic materials, and demonstrated with more than 3,000 color photos, there is hardly a question concerning tying trout flies that goes unanswered." (A.K. Best). "if you are really serious about tying flies, then you cannot afford not to buy this. Every fly tying technique I can think of, and hundreds that I can't, are listed and pictured here and if you own this, you really won't have a good reason for buying any more fly tying books (but you will). The explanations are clear [and] the photos are wonderful. Beyond outstanding." (Andrew Herd). .
