Trout Flies of the West
by Jim Schollmeyer and Ted Leeson

The book presents over 400 proven patterns contributed by 80 fly shops in the western United States. These focus on the flies that are the proven favorites for the local waters. Carried by streamside regulars and relied upon by guides, these patterns are your shortest route to trout-catching success.

Schollmeyer and Leeson solicted trout-fly patterns from shops and lodges from Alaska to New Mexico. What they discovered was a wealth of creative approaches and unusual designs from some enormously skilled flytiers. Now, you can benefit from the knowledge of these great tiers.

Please note: as with many pattern books, this is designed for the angler with some background in fly tying. Although there are some short sections on materials and construction, it does not contain basic "how-to" sections for general fly tying.

If you are looking for titles which are better for beginning tyers, check out the first books in this department.
