Great book. I would recommend it to the fly fisherman who wants to take care of his gear. I thought I knew it all, but have learned so much from this book and a lot of new tips. i.e. proper storage of flies and what can happen when you overcrowd your fly box.

For new fly fishermen who are not routinely schooled in taking care of their gear or have interests in trying to repair some of their gear, this book provides some very good basics on how to take care of your equipment - and why. Good basic care and repair book.

This book answers ALL your questions about fly tackle care and repair. These questions come up all the time whenever fly fishermen get together, either in person or on the internet. If I want to know the answer, this book is THE source, and I reference and recommend it frequently.
