I have TONS of books. I have everything from "the history of the flyers" to "chaos" and "fractal geometry" to "quantum theory" and all of stephen hawking's work. I also have tons of fly fishing books, and figured I'd share my recommendations:
First of all, I have almost all of Gierach's work. Amazing stuff. Get it. Get all of it. Do it now.
Here is an Amazon list of his work
Beyond that, I just gave a recommendation for this:
The Orvis Fly Tying Guide
Some other recommendations:
Tying Small Flies by Ed Engle
Trout Fishing In The Shenandoah National Park by Harry Murray. Amazon appears to be lacking this one, and it's kind of old, but gives good info on fishing the park. Thankfully, not much has changed in the years since it was written in this protected area.
I also recommend Meck's guide, to the ire of some of my flyfishing peers. It doesn't bother me, though. A worn out copy is always under the passenger seat of my car.
Thoughts? Recommendations?
