IMITATIVE FLY TYING: TECHNIQUES & VARIATIONS Reviews

Product: IMITATIVE FLY TYING: TECHNIQUES & VARIATIONS
Review Title: Fisher & Richards enter the 22nd Century
Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]

Review:
I have had Mr. Moutter's book for about 2 weeks. It is early March 2003. We have nothing on our streams but midges (when -and if- the typical Ozark weather allows). I have not had a chance to try Mr. Moutter's latest patterns and techniques. . . but I can say that the book is interesting and seems to build on the solid base that his "Paraloop" method established. I'm so pleased with the quality of the techniques (and their success on the stream) from his first book that I ordered this book nearly a year ago. The new methods include use of foam in combination with the paraloop technique. Unsinkable emergers! I can't wait to try these later this spring.This book follows the Oliver Edwards' fine Flytying Masterclass in guiding average tyers into very realistic (but simple to follow) new flies. The book covers more than emergers and foam and I can say that the little "observations" about streams, and certain people found there, make this a book for those readers seeking literature as well as instruction.The dedication is as wise and kind as I have ever read. Mr. Moutter is quite correct (in my opinion) about the difference between people who wet lines and certain types who don't.I will augment my review after I have had the pleasure of working Mr. Moutter's new patterns and techniques on the stream.Still, I enjoy the book and - both fly fishers and fly-fishing cat lovers' everywhere - will find something to recommend this fine little tome. ;-)
