Fly Tying .Fly Tying: 30 Years of Tips, Tricks, Patterns: edited by Jim Butler, Fly Rod & Reel Books, $29.95 - For anglers who enjoy tying their own flies, this mixed bag of recipes and stories, highlighted by detailed illustrations and color photographs, provides a wealth of opportunity to explore. The book covers everything from saltwater to smallmouth patterns, with a concentration on trout. Contributing tiers include Darrel Martin and A.K. Best - two top tiers with very different approaches. For those in a hurry, Best offers a selection of 10-minute ties. The breadth of material in these pages is unusual for a fly-tying book, writes Ted Leeson in the introduction. You'll find not only traditional patterns that have been catching fish for centuries, but reinterpretations of those traditions that are more closely aligned with the way we fish and tie today. -Brett French, The Billings Gazette, 12/19/2012
