Book Reviews of Barr Flies: How to Tie and Fish the Copper John, the Barr Emerger, and Dozens of Other Patterns, Variations, and Rigs
Book Review: This One is a Keeper
Summary: 5 Stars
I always practice 'catch and release' on the rivers. Sometimes I play "catch and release" with some of the books that I buy. I will be holding on to "Barr Flies". It will not be given away or tossed into a box of forgotten fly tying books. In fact, John Barr's "Barr Flies" is within easy reach as I write. This is one of just a few books that I keep on the bench. And, I only bought the book because of a discount when buying two books together (a good decision). Barr Flies was an afterthought and It's a book I reference often. John Barr's tying instructions are detailed. The illustrations are awesome. The information on rigging and fly presentations are going to help you catch lots of fish. After reading "Barr Flies" you won't be able to get your mind off of casting that Hopper-Copper-Dropper rig that you just tied. I found lots of useful information in "Barr Flies" - I learned that I had already been fishing and tying some of John Barr's flies and didn't even know it. And, I learned that I have not been fishing my Copper Johns they way that they were designed to be fished (they still work really well even when you fish them incorrectly). If you tie flies you'll want to have your own copy of "Barr Flies".
