Trout Flies of the East : Best Contemporary Patterns from East of the Rockies

Rating:
Summary: Great fun!
Review: This book is great fun, and I will certainly enjoy testing some of the regional patterns on my waters this year. The good part is that the patterns are more local (if you are from the east, if not other regional guides exist), not the usual western patterns that make up most pattern guides.

The downside is that one gets the feeling that little peer review stands behind these patterns, and that perhaps a Rolodex had more to do with their inclusion than their individual merit. The nearest submitter to me runs a fly shop I haven't been able to find with a "house to house search" of the community in question...
