Favorite Flies for Vermont

Vermont has long been known in the fly-fishing world for its excellent trout fishing (and home of Orvis) but in recent years more and more anglers are discovering its fantastic fishing for landlocked salmon, smallmouth bass, pike, and other species such as bowfin.

Favorite Flies for Vermont is part of Stackpole’s Favorite Flies series, pulling together fifty important (either from a historical or fishing standpoint or both) flies from a particular region, tied by anglers with close ties and local knowledge of the place. Each fly is featured in a spread that includes large, easy to see image, recipe, tying notes, and a supplemental image or possibly a few tying steps if a technique needs to be illustrated.

This book, though not a tying manual, showcases important flies that work well on the water for a given area and is a fishing/tying resource and tribute to the region.
