I have a family member who is a big fan of this site. I'd love to get this person a nice book on flyfishing, but since I don't fish, I need your help. Can any of you recommend a "must have" book on flyfishing that you've enjoyed. Keep in mind, the person that I am buying for is very experienced. I was thinking of a nice 'coffee table book' with beautiful artwork, photos, etc, about fly tieing, flies , and the sport in general. Thanks for your help. I hope it is appropriate to post this type of post here..... Santa will be grateful for your input....

Not sure of any specific title of a book, but I would suggest checking some of the links on this website or some other "fishing" websites, ie stripersonline.com. Or go to one of the book chainstore websites and just type in the subject. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but hope this helps a lil.

Remember, ya gotta hook 'em to cook 'em.

got tog?

Bergalls have feelings too...

Flygal,

The Seasons of a Fly Fisherman...
by Ted Leeson

This one's can't-miss... a collection of stories by some of the best, including Roderick Haig-Brown...whose writing alone is worth the price of the book...Amazon has it...Merry Christmas!

Lefty Kreh's "Saltwater Flyfishing" is a classic book of the sport. And Lou Tabory's "Inshore Flyfishing" is also very informative.

Take a look at the selections on our site.

Happy Holidays.

Best book for a coffee table i would say is Innovtive Saltwater Flies , Stacpole Books.
If they fly fish salt water this is the one , runs about $50
