Probasco's Favorite Northwest Flies

Noted writer and angler Steve Probasco shares his most productive fly patterns for the Pacific Northwest. Recipes are given for all of the flies, and many have step-by-step instruction. Includes flies for many different gamefish species.

Looking into someone else’s fly box can be a valuable experience, providing inspiration for the next time you sit at your tying bench. In this book, Steve Probasco—who has fished the Northwest’s waters for over 40 years—opens up his fly boxes and shares his most productive fly patterns for 9 different fish species, most of which are found across the country. Some flies are of his own design, some are the standards, some are designed by friends, and some are of unknown origin, but ALL are proven fish-catchers on Pacific Northwest waters. Take a peek, then gather up your fly-tying materials and experiment with the materials and techniques you find within these pages.
