Orlando, Florida. Kepcor. 1984. First Edition. Large Octavo (9 x 6 ½). 705 pp. including a list of suppliers, tiers, bibliography, glossary. Introduction by Charles F. Waterman. There's one hell of a lot flies listed herein - some 16,000. Flies for every fish that swims in saltwater, freshwater, waters north and south, east and west, lakes and streams, creeks, drainage ditches, ponds, sloughs, and lawn pools; streamers, dries, nymphs, wets, terrestrials, all intended to entice trout, steelhead, salmon, bass, dorado, tarpon, bonefish, cuda, lungfish, big crabs and baby Orcas; there all here, thousands of them. Does a fly fisher need or want even a small percentage of the patterns listed? Likely not. But it's nonetheless interesting to look over the course of several centuries and the subsequent explosion of fly patterns and realize that so many fly fishers assigned near Mensa qualities to creatures with pea-sized brains.
