Rating: Summary: Wishbook for Alaska Flytiers Review: "Fly Patterns" is an encyclopedia of patterns found effective by the Alaska Flyfishers. It contains both patterns that are well-known to flyfishers from the lower 48 and quite a few patterns that originated in the Last Frontier. Each pattern has a high-quality photograph, a recipe and a short description of how the pattern is used in Alaska. The chapters are devoted to particular types of flies (e.g., streamers, salmon flies, egg flies, etc.). A good, comprehensive index is provided.Other books of interest for those intending to flyfish in Alaska: "Flyfishing Alaska" and "Flies for Alaska" both by A. J. Route.

Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: Frank Amato publications recently published a super book that is titled Fly Patterns of Alaska. You can buy it online at Amazon.com. It's a beautiful book and well worth the price. You will also want to tie up some Popsicle flies, which I believe are also listed in the recommended book.
