Negative Positive
Title: Catskill Flytier
Review: A thoroughly pleasant read, typical of the flytying and flyfishing books of the seventies and earlier. Not a technical textbook, but more a "life and times" as the subtitle states. Anecdotes, references to flyfishing friends famous in their own right, but still plenty of valuable flytying info. Unusual subjects, such as a chapter on running a hackle farm, and an annotated bibliography of 76 flytying and fishing books, with Mr. Darbee's comments on each. Anyone who is interested in the earlier days of American flyfishing will enjoy this book.
