Fly fishing book?

[kristy7lynn]

Hi, I am looking for a fly fishing book to give as a christmas present to my boyfriend. He has fished for many years and is very knowledgeable, but is looking for a book that gives names, descirptions, and detailed pctures/images of the different flies -- basically a catalogue of flies. Can anyone reccomend a good book? Please send replies to my email at: kristy7lynn@yahoo.com

I appreciate any help you can give me!
thanks,
kristy

The Orvis Fly Tying Guide is an excellent tutorial and encyclopedia for fly tiers in one volume. I recommend it in hardcover because it is a great reference tool you will use over and over and want to last a lifetime/hand down to the next generation.
