Summary: Spey - nicely done
Comment: Mr. Veverka has a direct writing style that is immediately accessible. This is a very, very nice treatment of a niche within a niche.

Spey flies are Salmon flies - (and Steelhead flies) of the "Spey" persuasion. Spey flies are a traditional type of Scottish Salmon fly where most of the originals call for Herron feathers. This fine book proves that the modern Spey fly can be tied well with substitutes for the original feathers.

The history of the Spey fly, the materials and examples of many classic dressings are stunning and well presented through Mr. Veverka's prose and Mr. Radencich's excellent photography. This book explores modern variations on these flies including an excellent, in-depth selection of modern Steelhead Spey flies.

The dressing guides are well written and clearly illustrated (again, featuring Mr. Radencich's excellent photographs) making the task of tying the historical patterns within the reach of most mere mortal fly tiers. The modern Steelhead Spey flies are well within the skills of any intermediate fly tier.

Summary: A Great Book for Spey Fly Enthusiasts and Anglers in General
Comment: This is a beautiful book. Part history book, part fly recipes and tying instructions. The book is worth buying for the tremendous photographs alone. These pictures highlight these elegant flies and show them as the works of art that they are. The step by step instructions are very helpful and the chapter on materials is excellent. All in all, well researched, written and published. A tremendous reference for any salmon/steelhead junkie!
