Summary: The best ever written on fly-tying. Flies that catch trout!
Review: After having known Dave for more then 5 years up to date, I wasshocked when receiving from his hands this unique piece of art. Thereading is as always with Dave... astonishing and breathtaking. Thepictures are fantastic, and the step by step descriptions and details, not only helpful on tying, but also very entertaining, on the contrary of what we usually find in other fly-tying publications. Pictures are of high quality. As best as they can get, and flies are tied for fish... not for your eyes. Dave teaches how to tie them -- and use them too! -- in an easy way, focusing on trout... not on eyes of flyfishermen. The text is poetry! Easy to follow, even for non English native speakers, such as many of my fishing buddies here in Chile and in the Patagonia. Dave's years of knowledge throughout the world's trout streams, rivers, creeks, lakes and lagoons, are in this book. Not only a fly-tying book, but also a comprehensive guide as well as a delightful coffee table book. Oh yes! I bought a second one for tying. The one Dave gifted to me... sits in my coffee table, and it is the envy of all those who haven't bought it yet! Will you miss this great book? Oh no! Don't! Dave's poetry and humility flourishes in it. As always. As with great flyfishermen and writers. Dave's one of them. Thanks for this unique piece of art Dave! A BIG BRAVO FROM CHILE! Your second HOME WATERS.

Summary: A classic!
Review: As a lifelong flyfisher and novice tier I have to say this book is worth its substantial weight in gold. Clearly written text, perfect photos, and nice organization gave me an understanding of the tier's art like no other book has done. It is a book I will not only read cover to cover, but will keep at hand as my authoritative reference for the future.

Summary: Insightful and through explanation and review of trout flies
Review: Dave Hughes has done a complete crossection of all types of trout flies. The step by step illustrated tying instructions are the most complete I have ever viewed. The color photos emphasize the tying instructions bringing depth to them. Dave shows the balance of presentation and imitation with his fishing techniques. Trout Flies: The Tier's Reference is a must for the beginner to the imtermediate tier/fisherman.

Summary: More Than A Fly Tier's Bench Referencet
Review: Dave Hughes has gone beyond the average reference book. Not only does he show you the precise steps involved but also a step by step look at the fly you are tying. Many reference books give you the generic procedures but do not explain how a specific fly is constructed...
