About this Item
Orlando, Florida. Kepcor. 1984. First Edition. Large Octavo (9 x 6 1/2). 705 pp. including a list of suppliers, tiers, bibliography, glossary. Introduction by Charles F. Waterman. There's one hell of a lot flies listed herein - some 16,000. Flies for every fish that swims in saltwater, freshwater, waters north and south, east and west, lakes and streams, creeks, drainage ditches, ponds, sloughs, and lawn pools; streamers, dries, nymphs, wets, terrestrials, all intended to entice trout, steelhead, salmon, bass, dorado, tarpon, bonefish, cuda, lungfish, big crabs and baby Orcas; there all here, thousands of them. Does a fly fisher need or want even a small percentage of the patterns listed? Likely not. But it's nonetheless interesting to look over the course of several centuries and the subsequent explosion of fly patterns and realize that so many fly fishers assigned near Mensa qualities to creatures with pea-sized brains. In his review of the book in Fly Fisherman Magazine, Paul Schullery was no fan: "if you want a truly enormous list of fly patterns, and if you can settle for an absolute minimum of information about each, or if reading cramped, dot-matrix computer type is among your deeper joys, then this book will serve you well." The book is bound in burgundy cloth with gilt titles on the spine and front cover. A nice book. Former owner's discrete blind stamp, otherwise fine. Seller Inventory # 010327

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. My chosen shipping option is the U. S. Postal Service. USPS is the best in terms of service and cost efficiency ¿ even though recent overseas rates, effective January 2013, have skyrocketed. USPS requires mails sent overseas and Canada can ONLY be sent by AIRMAIL. Charged at actual cost. Other overseas shipping options are available, such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.; however, they are frightfully expensive.
