Received my copy of "Trout Spey & The Art of the Swing". What a beautifully done book. I've only had a chance to flip through some of it but I enjoyed studying some of the flies and their photos. Good job!

Very cool fly and beautiful Rainbows. I can imagine the fight from that almost 20 incher. First class.
