“Todd has written a fly-tying book like no other, destined to become a classic. And the fly patterns will fool trout anyplace.” — A.K. Best

The East Slope of the Colorado Rocky Mountains is home to an extraordinary concentration of accomplished fly tyers, perhaps the greatest in the world. Colorado Trout Flies profiles 34 of them, including professional tyers, fly-fishing guides and writers. The book focuses on the featured tyers, but it also details, with recipes and color photos, 68 of their favorite fly patterns. Based on the author's extensive interviews and research, Colorado Trout Flies brings the reader into the fly tyer's world of tradition and innovation; of imitation and imagination. For fly anglers and tyers, Colorado Trout Flies presents a unique and invaluable reference. And whether or not you tie flies or fish, you can still savor the portraits of the tyers and their trout-fly art. Author: A professional writer and veteran fly-fishing guide, Todd Hosman lives near Longmont, Colorado.
