Orlando, Florida. Kepcor. 1984. First Edition. Octavo (9 x 6 1/2). 705 pp. including lists of suppliers, tiers, bibliography, glossary. Signed by Keith Perrault on the title page. Introduction by Charles F. Waterman. There's one hell of a lot flies listed herein - some 16,000. Flies for every fish that swims - saltwater, freshwater, waters north and south and east and west and lakes and streams; streamers, dries, nymphs, wets, trout, steelhead and salmon. Does a fly fisher need or want even one twentieth of the patterns listed? No, and no again. But it's nonetheless interesting to look over the course of several centuries and the explosion of fly patterns and realize that so many fly fishers assigned near Mensa qualities to creatures with pea-sized brains. In his review of the book in Fly Fisherman, Paul Schullery was no fan: ".if you want a truly enormous list of fly patterns, and if you can settle for an absolute minimum of information about each, or if reading cramped, dot-matrix computer type is among your deeper joys, then this book will serve you well." The book is bound in burgundy cloth with gilt titles. A nice book. Fine. Signed by Author. Seller Inventory # 010245
