Fly Fishing Outside The Box takes a hammer and chisel to many set-in-stone fly fishing and fly-tying perceptions and practices. "[This book] will do for the 'want to be a better' fly fisher what a spell at the Harvard Business School does for the aspiring business supremo - but speaking from personal experience, will be a lot more fun! This brilliant book challenges assumptions, shows why many time worn practices need to be rethought, and provides parameters for new action, all based on logic and a raft of common sense. I challenge any flyfisher - whatever their level of expertise - not to benefit from this, the most important book for trout and grayling anglers since John Goddard and Brian Clarke's classic, The Trout and the Fly." (Timothy Benn). "No fly fisher concerned with the complexities of fly theory, trout behaviour, and stream savvy can afford to miss Peter Hayes' milestone new book. As only the best books can, it disciplines your attention, provokes happy argument, and stimulates the most creative kinds of imagination." (Paul Schullery). "The fun of reading his ideas is that this isn't a book that guarantees you all the answers and then sends you on your way believing you know it all - instead it unlocks a series of doors and shows what lies beyond." (Andrew Herd).
