I have the book in my library. If you are
interested in the history of fly fishing and fly tying, it is a must read -
must have. I tcontains a wealth of information and some beautiful color
plates of historic old flies, along with some specifics on tying some of them.

Hi
everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has read this book "Favorite Flies & Their
Histories" by Mary Orvis Maybury
I found a copy for sale online and was wondering if it was worth buying.
Thanks in advance
