READER COMMENTS

“Todd has written a fly-tying book like no other, destined to become a classic. And the fly patterns will fool trout anyplace.” — A.K. Best, author of Fly Tying with A.K. “I read the sections on the tyers I know — some well, others more casually — and Todd invariably nailed them. You don't just learn where they came from and how they got into fly tying, you also get a sense of their style, philosophy and humor and of their lives before or outside of fly fishing.” — John Gierach, author of Fool's Paradise, Trout Bum, and Standing in a River Waving a Stick. “The author lets his subjects use their own voices as they are, rather than his interpretations of what they said. It is a gift that is hard to do as well as Todd has done it here. A first-rate work.” — John Betts, author and artist. “A model of how well a book can be designed and made. It's also a model for the presentation of its serious content: a biographical dictionary of the fly tyers and flies of the Colorado Front Range. And Todd's easy, graceful prose seems to be writing itself.” — Gordon Wickstrom, author of Late in an Angler's Life and Notes from an Old Fly Book. “Splendid and distinctive; loaded with practicality and celebrity.” — Denver Post, Charlie Meyers
