04/05/2026: I apologize for a long spell of not updating..... I've been quite busy.
The British Fly Fair International was quite an experience!
It's been a very strange winter. We have had such a mild winter although snow accumulation in the mountain ranges
look quite fair. We keep our eyes on the spring weather patterns and how the runoff unfolds.
Guide trip booking is going strong for Yellowstone River float and spring creeks!!
I'm working on The THIRD & FINAL Edition of "Trout Foods & Flies For Livingston's Spring Creeks" !!





Atlantic Salmon Flies
Books in My Library
Since I came to be deeply involved in Atlantic salmon flies, I started to read more books. First and foremost reason is because we're dealing with the past, especially from late 19th to early 20th century, The Golden Age of Atlantic salmon flies.
Eventually correcting and reading books themselves have grown up to be an important part of my angling & tying pursuits. There are so much to be learned from the past authors.
I definitely want to introduce books regarding salmon flies. But also this is the good place and opportunity for me to introduce my favorite classics and modern classics of fly-fishing related books.
Below is the gallery of books. With picture of each book, author, and year of publishing, I bet one can search for somewhere online.
Gallery is organized in order of: Atlantic Salmon Flies related (classic literature first, then by modern authors), Trout fishing & flies, history review types, modern fishing & tying books. This is just my way of sorting and organizing as I see fit. Yet, I believe it's better than just an alphabetical order of authors or books, or year of publishing.
Although I have several favorite sites that I always look for, I'm sure one can reach same sites or even find better deals than I had. So keep looking, folks!!
