John Gierach is a highly trusted and trustable opinion-maker in fly-fishing. People take what he says to the bank. While most of Gierach's writing is essay-style and reflective, here he gets down to the nitty-gritty: how he ties his favorite flies and why he thinks they work so well for him. There is, thus, an instant listener connection: "Gierach's patterns are good enough for me."

Few anglers will skip knowing what a master angler and thinker prefers for his fly box. This title covers a gamut of patterns essential to trout fishing in a variety of circumstances: dry flies, wet flies and nymphs, and streamers. Gierach's legion of fans of his regular magazine column will be highly inclined to buy this title.

I always enjoy a John Gierach book, but this is a departure from his riverside stories that make you want to just go out there and fish. This book has a lot of information about fly patterns and the materials that one would need to create on the bench. If offering this as an audio book I would like to see an accompanying PDF for reference.

If I had to choose again I would buy this one as a book and listen to one of his other books,

Gierach wit mixed with technical fly recipes read as incantations. I feel like this needs a pdf with the recipes to make it worthwhile.

Should have got the book

Disliked the interminable descriptions of flies. Too much fly descriptions and not enough interesting storytelling.

Boring
