They have also published one on flies for bass. ; ;Two other general pattern books I consult with often are the ;FFF Fly Pattern Encyclopedia and "Flies the Best One ;Thousand". I also have the same Taff Price International Guide ;of Fly Patterns that you have -- it was my first general ;pattern book -- but these days I find that the patterns books ;I use most frequently are regional pattern reference books -- ;"Flies for Alaska" and "Fly Patterns of British Columbia" are ;my favorites. But they would probably be of little use to you. ; ;Ken MacGillivray ;Coquitlam BC ; ; ; ;----- Original Message ----- ;From: "Bill & Christina" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ;To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ;Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2002 10:46 PM ;Subject: [VFB] Favorite Pattern Book ; ; ;> I was thinking about getting a good overall pattern book, I currently ;have: ;> 1) Fly Patterns, Taff Price ;> 2) Fish Flies Volume One, Terry Hellekson ;> 3) Fly Tyers Masterclass, Oliver Edward (kind of advanced for me, but ;cool) ;> So you can see my library is limited.
