Product Description

In Barr Flies, John Barr shares his confidence patterns, the flies that he carries with him at all times to cover nearly every scenario an angler might encounter on the water. When used at an appropriate time with a good presentation, they are guaranteed to catch fish. Barr tells how he developed each fly, gives tips on when and how to fish them, and explains how he fishes multiple-fly rigs with the Copper John as the center of a 3-fly system that optimizes fish-catching potential. John Barr is the most successful designer of commercially distributed flies in the world. His Barr Emerger is an unrivaled pattern for western mayfly situations, and the Copper John has evolved into the most popular fly of the millennium.

Great fly book5
This one of the best fly-tying/fishing book I have read. As a fly tyer I really liked the super clear photos and understandable guide to the many excellent flies presented in this book. There is just enough fishing info to help. What a great book!.

Best Fly Tying Book5
This is the best book I have ever seen for tying John Barr's patterns. The narrative by John is excellent and the photographs by Charlie Craven are outstanding. I recommend this book uncoditionally for anyone interested in tying flies!

Best in my collection5
I have approximately ten fly tying books of my own and have read more than twenty others. This is by far the best. Clear step-by-step photos and clear explanations as to why these flies work.
