How To Tie and Fish the Copper John, the Barr Emerger and Dozens of Other Patterns, Variations, and Rigs. John Barr has invented a number of indispensable flies such as the Barr Emerger, an unrivaled pattern for difficult trout, and the Copper John, the single best-selling fly in the world. In Barr Flies, John shares these and his other "confidence" patterns, the flies he has the most faith in to catch heavily pressured trout. Barr tells how he developed each fly, gives tips on when and how to fish them, and explains his multiple-fly system that consistently catches more fish. Most importantly, John reveals his methods for tying his favorite flies, with step-by-step instructions and fantastic color photos.
Hint - his personal ties don't look to be exactly the same as the commercial versions. Very highly recommended! Hardcover, color photos, 8.5"x11", 172 pages.
