The author is the worlds leading authority on the history and tying of Spey flies simply because they caught his fancy in the 1980s and over the years he has conducted more research on the topic by far than anyone else. His vision for this new incarnation of his original Spey Flies (Amato Publications, 2002) includes a tremendous upgrade from the originalan entirely new book, in factbecause he has uncovered so many historical facts, intrigues, people, and flies that have never been compiled in a single volume, or even presented in any form to the interested audience. His original Spey Flies was graphically rich; the new book is far more so. Full color w/ fly recipes; 8×10.5 inches, 288 pgs.
