Better take a close look at this one! John Goddard is a consummate fly angler and he knows his business in depth. There's plenty of solid meat in this book. Meat that will make you a better fly fisher. I promise". (Gary Borger)". John Goddard is one of the most skillful, observant, and certainly the most inventive fly fisherman I have ever fished with. The tactics, patterns, and presentations he's worked out over the years are always rock-solid and often inspired". (Len Wright).
