Guide Flies

How to Tie and Fish the Killer Flies from America's Greatest Guides and Fly Shops

David Klausmeyer

This ultimate fly book from the editor of Fly Tyer magazine showcases the favorite flies of the nation's best fly fishing guides.

From the streams and rivers of Montana and Michigan, to the flats of Key West, to the coast of California, the professional fishing guides who spend hundreds of days a year on the waters of a specific place or region know those waters and the food the fish are feeding on. Now, for the first time, Dave Klausmeyer brings you a selection of the killer flies each of these guides have developed for their local waters.

Guide Flies shows you the flies in beautiful, close-up color photographs. It gives you detailed recipes to be able to duplicate these flies at your own vise. And, through an extensive questionnaire, Dave has solicited the details from each guide of how they developed their fly and how best to fish it.

Look out, fish. The word is out!

CORRECTION On page 29 is the recipe for Scott Sickau's Iowa Mystery Nymph, but the corresponding image shows a picture of Mr. Rapidan Ant by Harry Murray. Below is a picture of the actual Iowa Mystery Nymph. How this mistake ever ocurred is a mystery to us. Thanks!
