New Zealand Fly Tying
It's
my pleasure to introduce my readers to New Zealand Fly Tying — one
of the best books on fly tying the beginner could possibly
read.
This book is crammed with illustrations and easy to follow
instructions for tying dry flies, wet flies, and nymphs that will work
ANYWHERE. It also unveils the mysteries of the unique and universally
effective big New Zealand lures.
About the Author: Hugh McDowell has been one of New Zealand's best-known and most respected fishing guides for over twenty-five years. He's an extremely entertaining writer and this book reflects his unquenchable sense of humor. Little wonder New Zealand Fly Tying has become New Zealand's standard reference-book on fly-tying. It is currently a bestseller in the how-to section and is already in its seventh printing. A frequent guest flytyer at the Federation of Flyfishers' shows, Hugh's work is featured in many books including Patterns of the Masters and The Art of the Trout Fly. Framed samples of his flies are eagerly sought after by collectors worldwide.

Maggie Merriman Fly Fishing Video
Maggie Merriman has been a fishing friend of mine for over 25 years. Now, in conjunction with Fly Fish TV, she's finally gotten around to sharing some of her techniques and knowledge with the angling public via video and DVD. This is an excellent video for the beginning flyfisher and I heartily recommend it.
Ordering Information
Stripah Love is available for order from Jack through this web site.
Stripah Love
Written by acclaimed Vermont author Stephen Hunter Morris, this unusual novel set on the South Shore of Boston has something for everyone: a great mix of dramatic plot, interesting characters, and acute insights into the nature of contemporary relationships and human endeavor and, of course flyfishing for stripers.
With some great seafood recipes to round it all out. Who could ask for anything more? This book had me turning the pages faster and faster to see what would happen next but then, nearing the end of the book, turning them more slowly to prolong the pleasure. I just didn't want it to end. I think you'll feel the same way, too.
Price: $14.95
