This one is choice! Can you imagine a book with 16,000 fly patterns?
Well, I got one - bought it through Byard. Title is Perrault's
Standard Dictionary of Fishing Flies - Kepcor Books, Daniels Publishing
Co, Orlando, FL 1st & only edition - 1984. The book is sectioned as
follows: Trout Flies - wet and dry, Nymphs, Streamers and Bucktails,
Terrestrials, Atlantic Salmon Flies, Lake Flies, Steelhead and Pacific
Salmon Flies, Salt Water Flies, Material Suppliers, World Wide Fly
Tiers. You name it, this book has it. Only drawback is cost. I paid
$50 + for it through Byard, brand new, still in shrink wrap cover. I
think the copy I got was the only one Byard had. The book is out of
print, but there are several copies available at the link below. Price
ranges from $20.60 to $72.85, depending on condition.
